Webcomic: Makeshift Miracle
A side project of Jim Zubkavich, who works as an illustrator over at UDON, Makeshift Miracle is a (relatively) short online graphic novel which he wrote and drew between 2001 and 2003. The story is sweet and charming, about a boy who finds a mysterious girl after she falls from the sky and then journeys with her back to her supernatural homeland and faces the various threats therein. I realize I'm oversimplifying the storyline a little, but I really don't want to give anything away.
Aside from a charming story, Zubkavich's art is particularly pretty to look at, especially with the duotone looks he employs to help portray the mood of each scene. As a result, the overall style of the comic manages to come off as both appealing and unique all at once thanks to the clean lines and lovely shading styles its creator employs.
Now, the comic itself was finished a while ago, and you can read through the whole thing in a couple of hours. If you're in CA tonight, I'd recommend sitting down with a hot drink and reading the comic in front of your fireplace (or any other source of heat).

That plot synopsis sounds suspiciously like the plot of Stardust...
And about a million other books/comics/movies/... The anime Then and there, here and now springs to mind as well.
Nothing really original about that plot. Though that isn't to say it's necesairily bad. I just can't say I care particularly much to find out if it is good despite despite the overused main plot.
