ten is a nice round number but i might have to add more later....the more i read the tougher it gets to narrrow this list down.
Hey, nice list, one I've fully gotta support- every book on this list that i've read is great, most notably the Gaiman works, and of course, 'Nny is a great guy to have around. JCV is someone to watch for, definitely.
My recommendation for #10 would have to be "Transmetropolitan", and I just can't remember who wrote that one. It's great, though.
Great List :)
i actually haven't read transmetropolitan yet. one of my friends told me to read it so it is on my list to read. i'm glad that you like my list, especially JTHM. i wasn't sure if it really fit in with the others, but i had to include 'nny. never know what might happen to me if i don't :)
Transmetropolitan is written by Warren Ellis. I would have that on my list aw well. Also I would include "V for Vendeta" by Frank Moore
I'm an Idiot. Frank Miller / Allen Moore. Same person realy! Welllll......
Next time I'll preview before I post :)
How 'bout something by Frank Miller?
O yeah . . . The Watchmen was written by Alan Moore.
he completely slipped my mind. this is what i get for making this list when all my possessions (including comix) are packed. i'll have to add him to the list. thanks.
Cool. You should definitely check out his graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns. A classic. And I'm not even a Batman fan.
