I second or third, whatever, the recommendations for Maus.

American Splendor is fantastic, have you read that?

 

[theoootini]

street angel is pretty cool. it's a wacky little black and white with ninjas wierd humour and gore..theres also an irish astronaut called cosmic (!) i think the first couple of issues has been collected now. its not often yo see humour in comics that works (ive never read american splendour tho or any frank crumb for that matter)...

 

[Antrophe]

Read Channel Zero there two days ago, by a guy called Brian Wood. Very stark black and white imagery through out, the narrative is about a medica hacktivist in an America where the religous right have come to dominate, with the passing of the Clean Act, due to which, all information must first be cleared by the state. A very William Gibsonesque tale.

The battle royale manga is fucking amazing, unless you've seen the film.

btw: I am a member of the Denis the Menace fan club

I joined that and the Desperate Dan one on the same day in 1981.

The furry Gnasher badge rocked. As did the Gnasher glove puppet that they gave away with the comic the previous year.

The HATE series by Peter Bagge will always be my favorite comic book.

I got that too. In fact, I got two rep messages with similar observations.

For the record, I joined the Dennis the Menace fan club when I was seven.

Agreed. Chris Ware is ridiculously talented. Like, humblingly. Did you see the "lost buildings" book he collaborated on?
