graphic novels

the invisibles is life changing stuff

i just realised: basically anything drawn by kevin o' neill, fuck yeah

probably the most overtly surreal, brutalist artist working for 2000ad in their fertile period:

(although not just 2000ad)

o' neill was always at his best when teamed with khaos magick expert pat mills

and of course ABC warriors:

kevin o neill

He is a bad ass indeed...

Joe Sacco - Palestine

seconded. infact everything by him. really well drawn and really interesting too.

jeffrey brown is oen of my recent favorites too.

his autobiographical stuff is great. really honest and badly drawn.

so 'unlikely', 'clumsy' and 'aeiou'

and maybe a new one i haven't picked up yet

maybe i haven't mentioned dash shaw enough

Cerebus the Aardvark

Usagi Yojimbo

the Dune graphic novel was pretty good (with art by Bill Sienkiewicz). Check it out here:

Although not originally a graphic novel, Scud: The Disposable Assassin can be bought in a one book anthology called The Whole Shebang.

Get it. Read it. Love it.

wow! that's great

Ditto on:

Sandman - totally blew me on my ass when I read it and opened the door to "graphic novels" or whatever the fuck you want to call them. The art style changes, btw, so don't think that just on book is representative of the whole

Watchmen - classic

Arkham Asylum - Great writing + Great artwork. Can't go wrong

Others:

Transmetropolitan - If Hunter Thompson lived in the future

Heavy Ink - weird but good

Dave McKean's Cages - wonderfully surreal - guys got talent beyond just making amazing visuals

kinda boc

this was one of the first comics i owned that really got me interested in the whole world

Gettin me some Moore Swamp Thing right now...couldn't find where I hid it from myself

this thread is making my computer hd space disappear....

thanks goddamn NERDZ!

All Star Superman

Probably my favorite Supes series

Grant Morrison is one of the greatest humans to ever touch earth's soil...

the first handful of hellboy books are amazing, if you dig poe and lovecraft, or are a fan of myths and legends.

frm 'We3':

Yes. They are pretty cool. Poe and Lovecraft. Mignola as well.

You should search out both volumes, mang. I think you'd like it, even if you aren't a huge Superman fan. He really got me interested in the character again. He takes the characters potential and runs with it. I love Quitely's style too. Which reminds me... We3 was a decent series too.

also echoing Preacher, DMZ

Oh yeah, Signal to Noise by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean is pretty sweet... that's always a good combination :)
