There's a series of comic books called Action Philosophers that I very much enjoyed. Each issue is about a different philosopher (Spinoza, Plato, Aristotle, Kant etc.) and for light reading it's really nice for getting a baseline introduction to different ideas.

Note that it is in no way comprehensive. I majored in philosophy in college and had already read the primary texts for all of the philosophers featured in the comics before I discovered this series. That being said, I found the interpretations to be reasonably faithful and that's why I've recommended the series to friends that are curious and want to browse without tackling large, dense tomes.
