I think 'Smile' by Raina Telgemeier is a wonderful choice for beginners. It's a coming - of - age story about a girl dealing with dental problems and middle - school drama. It has a simple yet engaging art style. 'Babymouse' is also suitable. It's cute and has a lot of fun stories for new comic readers to enjoy.

I'd recommend 'Garfield' for beginners. It's got humor, easy-to-follow plots, and is visually appealing. The characters are loveable and the comics are great for a light read.

I'd recommend classics like 'Peanuts' or 'Calvin and Hobbes'. They have simple yet engaging storylines and great art.

'Scott Pilgrim' is also beginner - friendly. It has a modern and relatable story about a young guy dealing with love and his own insecurities, all while having to fight his girlfriend's seven evil exes.
