--- Quote from: De_El on 10 Dec 2007, 16:15 ---So, Love & Rockets has yet to be mentioned. This is a CRIME. If y'ain't yet read Love & Rockets, it is best to start with the recently released big ass compendiums Maggie the Mechanic and Heatrbreak Soup to give you a good look at the work of both of Los Bros Hernandez (Jaime and Gilbert, respectively). And even though they're compendiums, they're pretty cheap, like 15 USD I think. But anyways. Everyone should know and love Love & Rockets.

Indeed. I feel ashamed that I neglected to mention it.

mmmk. if ur lookin for insperation or just enjoyment of a novel, "a Midnight Opera" will give both, Hans is completly self taught.and the guy who does "Spawn" says it kicks ass!lol. secondly, "Blade of the Imortals"
its bloody its depraived...its scary at times. BUT it has some of the best art work ever to grace a graphic novel of any kind. Hiroaki Samura is THE TOP artist in Japan. if ur lookin to learn about writing and drawing graphic novels, these two will help ALOT

Hellboy: One of the greatest stories ever told. Made up of Mignola's wonderful art, composition (this is actually art in itself) and writing. The stories involve real mythical characters and stories Mignola has researched and studied and turned into his own universe. In my opinion the film was good and is what turned me to the comics. I'm aware a lot of people didn't like the film, for those people: The book is in no way like the film, read it now you bastards. The fact that its ongoing and that there are other Hellboy universe titles such as B.P.R.D. and Lobster Johnson out right now just makes it that tiny bit more perfect. In fifty years it will be considered a historical classical read.
Scott Pilgrim: A brilliant Canadian ongoing graphic novel series. It is hilarious with its pop culture references, strange funny manga like drawings and general all around awesomeness. The only way Scott Pilgrim can date the girl of his dreams is if he can be the Seven Evil Ex Boyfriends.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Same as Hellboy, the graphic novels are much better than the movie. Same writer as Watchmen, From Hell and many other incredible books. Alan Moore (the writer) is certainly as important to the creation of graphic novels as Bob Dylan, Elvis and The Beatles were to Rock & Roll.

Throw my voice as one in favor of Transmetropolitan as well, that shit was absolutely amazing. Spent three days holed up reading the whole thing.
Also, if you're into some really bizarre stuff, look for volumes 1 and 2 of NEXTWAVE: Agents of H.A.T.E...D-list Marvel heroes brought together by a sorta SHIELD-esque organization. Shit gets blown up, satire is abundant, stereotypes are embraced, and Marvel canon is seriously challenged. If you wanna feel sexually uncomfortable about robots, read NEXTWAVE.
Cartilage Head:
I also have to heavily recommend Maus.
