[CoolHands]

anyone read them? I used to like stuff like this when I was a teenager, and I feel like reading some again. Where can I buy them? Amazon etc? I haven't looked yet. Any recommendations - I haven't read anything for years. Stuff like Batman I suppose, you know good / evil / bit of darkness thrown in. Not manga.

Yes,I watched The Big Bang Theory this morning.

Amazon is a pretty good bet either that or Forbidden Planet.

Forbidden Planet is a good suggestion, if there's a shop locally.

I've got a few hundred issues of the Beano from the late 90s in the loft somewhere

Download the marvel ap, they do quite a lot of free comics and they do a sale every Monday. I think dc do the same.

[tangerine_sedge]

I borrow quite a few from my local public library. They tend to have the classics like watchmen, laughing joke etc but also have some oddball stuff too. Its a cheap way to discover new stuff.

I can highly recomend the American Vampire series.

Look up Neil Gaiman, your library may well have some of his works.

Then read watchmen

Cerebus. Makes watchmen look like a preschool finger painting.

Love and rockets are pretty good.

Looks interesting


He could always try sex wars but imagine it would put him on some kind of FBI list.

If you do cerebus, start with high society. The 25 odd issues before that are not necessary and dont add to the story. The quality begins with high society.

Meh, the early suff was interesting, the middle bit was great, church and state etc etc, but the later stuff was dire.
