WTF!!! He's banging Wonder Woman! CatWoman I can see but damn. What a BatMack.

I always liked Neil Gaiman as a writer, so I liked the Sandman series and his graphic novels, although I can't remember the name of the artist that I liked the most that illustrated many of them.

There was a comic called "Gregory" about a nearly mute 6 or 7 year old who lived in an insane asylum in a padded room with a rat and a cockroach for a friend that I really liked too.

Milk and Cheese is a classis, as is Tank Girl.

And I liked Love and Rockets for a while too.

I haven't looked at a comic book in quite a while though. I'll have to head to my local comic store.

I haven't. I'll have to pick that up soon. Wow! I forgot how much I loved comics.

My very first roommate in my very first apartment introduced me to all that stuff around 9 years ago or so. I just read all of his. I picked up a few Neil Gaiman graphic novels over the years, but I haven't really been in a comic book store since. I think I'm stopping on my way home tonight.

Thanks for the suggestion!

you went to the comic book store with me when i was in Minneapolis and, i think you actually bought something... something by Neil Gaiman in fact.


btw, he has some weird new mini-series coming out from Marvel in the next few months. it's supposedly something really great and a big deal, but i don't know if it's super-hero-y type stuff or not. i believe, however, that it's a period piece setting for some Marvel characters.

YES! Dave McKean is the Man!!! His covers for Sandman are the best. Have you read Cages? It's all done by him. It's pen and ink mostly but it's incredible stuff. Pick it up if you get the chance. Violent Cases is also on par with his Arkham Asylum art. It's about a boy who meets Al Capone's osteopath and his recollection about that meeting. It's pretty disturbing but still cool.

I gotta say though, the UK Marvel Transformers comics were cool too!

and though the success of those has been attempted again and again over the decades, they've never been anywhere as good as those original UK issues.

of the 4 mainstream Marvel Universe titles with the word "X-Men" in them (wich includes Uncanny, New, X-Treme, and Unlimited, but not Ultimate), Uncanny is one of THE TWO that you should NOT read. Unlimited being the other...

X-treme is Claremont doing what Claremont does, which is to the liking of some, and not to the liking of others.

Uncanny is written by Chuck Austen, and has the vibe of the commercial/ultra-angsty/soap-oper-y/boring/cliched/nauseating 90's X-books

New X-Men is Grant Morrison's book, and has become the flagship title of the X-books. it's also very good, and weird, and neat, and cool. i like it a lot. but i like Claremont's X-treme X-Men better.

I have an entire box of ancient Richie Rich comics from when I was a kid...feeding them to my daughter now...

Cool thanks for the tips. I actually stopped reading Uncanny anyway. I admit I was hooked on the last story line but was disappointed with the climax of the story arc. As far as New X-Men is concerned, I have been keeping tabs on it. You're right though it is weird. But I like it.

I'll have to check out Xtreme. I've always liked Claremont so I'll give it a try.

I happened upon DeathLock back in '74 i see he still kickin it...
