Paper Girls - I think this is in five or six volumes, there might be an omnibus, finished story.

Ubby's Underdogs - no idea whether this will be available outside Australia. Three volumes, finished story. Set in Broome, Western Australia, when it was a pearling town, the Underdogs is a very mixed 'gang' of teenagers. Author is Indigenous.

Persepolis - lots of people love this, I struggle with the art work. Graphic memoir, Iranian revolution. Another difficult read is Maus which is the story of the author's parents surviving Jewish death camps in WWII Germany.

Stars In Their Eyes - another 'might only be in Australia' - this is a coming of age story with a teenager being taken to their first fan convention by their rather fannish parent. I think this is the only book by the author.

Check, Please! - also available as a webcomic. ?College? ice hockey team, mostly from the perspective of their one out queer character, who used to be a figure skater. Complete story collected in two volumes.

Fables - many collected volumes. The author has just put them all in the public domain, so you might be able to find electronic copies.
