Here are a few of my favorite comics:
- Aliens: Salvation - First Mignola comic I ever read. I think. Either that or Bram Stoker's Dracula graphic novel. Loved both, though Aliens is the better book.
- Hellboy Series - Pretty much the entire series that Mignola draws starting with Seed of Destruction.
- Maus - There's a reason that Spiegelman won a Pulitzer prize for this one. Loved it. So sad. Am reading Maus II now.
- Various Tank Girls. Yeah, from before the movie. Good, radical stuff. Love the punk design ethic.
- Acme Novelty Library - I've got several of Ware's over sized editions. Great colors and draftsmanship, in addition to superb storytelling. However, I can't read too much or I start to feel a little depressed.
So yeah, I started reading comics in the mid-90's. Before that, I was reading RPG books, playing in bands, gaming, and writing. Didn't know that comics had evolved past supers yet.
There are some other indie titles that I like, that I need to dig up and mention too. There's just a bunch more that I can't think of right now.
What do you read?
