Now that I think about it, the worst comic I've read is definitely witchblade. It was about tits.

but I was fifteen...

oh, "jimmy corrigan, the smartest kid on earth" is wonderful, i really loved that book... i bought "quimby the mouse" recently, i believe it's a compilation of chris ware's early drawings when he was a student... jimmy corrigan also shows up sometimes...

but i don't know much about graphic novels... i read "david boring" and loved it too...

and i really like also marjane satrapi's books... the persepolis series was really nice...

The graphic adaptation of City Of Glass (original novel by P. Auster) is splendid as well. As is Blackhole by Charles Burns: beautiful ode to sexual exploration; and that woman with her tail, and when it snaps off… gives me the chills.

I'm not all too fond of the Persepolis visual exploration, but I came to enjoy the storyline nonetheless. I hear what you're saying about CoG; read the book first too. And nothing beats an original P. Auster situation, but I thought the adaptation was in itself very succesful. Superb visual associating one frame to another; thought it was very close to the way of Auster's writing. And I loved the Auster cameo in the adaptation, i.e.

One time when I was at the county fair, this guy, who I assume was from some sort of cult, gave me a book done in the style of a graphic novel. Except it was all about how I was going to go to hell if I didn't join his church. I was six.

ha ha yes i remember when he goes to paul auster the writer. it was a pretty good adaptation for sure. and you're right the pictures in persepolis get a bit tiring (though there is much to be made of that uniformity/monotony in that context)-- but the story-- i had never read much about the iranian revolution until then. so this is my only source in a way...

luxy: that's an atrocious story, but i'm glad you didn't suffer any permanent damage.

I remember one page showed the main character of the book burning in hell. The text said, "JOE IS IN HELL!!!" He also looked to be around six years old.

When I worked at one of the local libraries last year, I saw few of these fundamentalist christian propaganda booklets/comics. They were blatantly judgemental and therefore hilarious, but also sickening.
I can't remember what organization was publishing them though.

They are so interesting though, as long as you are in the right mind to not be affected by them.

Has anyone read 'Hey Wait' by Jason? I read it out of the blue at our local libray a few years ago when I was a bum. After reading I had to sit down cos. It was as if God said "oi dickhead, what the hell are you gonna do with your life?"

just finished reading Black Hole. What a trip!

I also like Clowes a lot. Ghost World's a classic. But the Caricature things are fun, too.

i forgot to say, you are one of my favorite new people around here, well informed & insighful; thanks for the good reading. (& that picture in pictures of hot girls was hot too, subtle, very good). repped.
