Comic Books what I like.
Fat Chunk: Robot v. 1Fat Chunk: Robot v. 1 by Jamie Smart
Buy new: £6.41 / Used from: £7.98
I’m in this book, so I’m obviously biased. it’s a great mix of stories and styles that should please everyone.
Collected Sam and Max: Surfin' the HighwayCollected Sam and Max: Surfin' the Highway by Steve Purcell
Buy used from: £29.85
a six foot dog and a rabbity thing blowing stuff up. whats not to like?
Scott Pilgrim (Volume 1): Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life v. 1Scott Pilgrim (Volume 1): Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life v. 1 by Bryan Lee O'Malley
Buy used from: £5.32
Scott Pilgrim is awesome. Packed to the gills with Geeky video game and Manga refrences. Its about to be made into a film with Michael Cera, which I must admit I’m not that thrilled about.
The Complete MausThe Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman
Buy new: £10.16 / Used from: £8.96
This book is both wonderful and horrible. Art Spiegelman’s brave decision to show his father’s negative side makes the character a lot more believable. It’s an amazing piece of work.
WatchmenWatchmen by Alan Moore
Buy new: £8.57 / Used from: £4.86
I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this, as I didn’t really warm to V for Vendetta.
Creature TechCreature Tech by Doug TenNapel
Buy used from: £11.52
Doug TenNape is an amazing artist and story teller. All his books are amazing even if sometimes you feel he writes himself into a corner and drops in a giant monster for no real reason. see iron west
Bone: One volume collection: Vol 1 (Bone Series)Bone: One volume collection: Vol 1 (Bone Series) by Jeff Smith
Buy new: £19.46 / Used from: £8.36
The first two issues of Bone are seriously the most wonderful books I’ve ever read. As the story goes on it does slow down a little but still well worth a read.
SqueeSquee by Jhonen Vasquez
Buy new: £7.35 / Used from: £8.68
I personally prefer Squee to the more well know JTHM. Squee is a lot more relatable as a character and while JTHM has in your face over the top gore, Squee has a more sorrowful and dark undercurrent.
Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Directors CutJohnny the Homicidal Maniac: Directors Cut by Jhonen Vasquez
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £7.14
This was the book that got me into comics. Before JTHM I’d only read the beano or the occasional issue of spiderman. This book really opend my eyes as to what can be done in a comic
The ProThe Pro by Garth Ennis
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £34.37
A prostitute that gains super powers. Its really filthy, so not for everyone.
Lenore: Noogies v. 1Lenore: Noogies v. 1 by Roman Dirge
Buy used from: £2.00
I must be honest that I find Roman Dirge’s artwork a lot more enjoyable than the actual stories.
Sharknife Volume 1: v. 1Sharknife Volume 1: v. 1 by Corey Lewis
Buy new: £7.50 / Used from: £2.35
sharknife is a robotic ninja that beats up monsters that live in the walls of a Chinese restaurant. Its over the top and really silly but a lot of fun,
