My Favourite Comics

The list author says:
	"I don't like much manga, but I adore this. A very skewed Japanese view of American politics, and a superb story. Volume 1 of 5."

The list author says:
	"This biography details the adventures of the Richest Duck In The World, who made his fortune by being tougher than the toughies and sharper than the sharpies. My single favourite comic of all time."

The list author says:
	"A selection of autobiographical stories from Wojnarowicz, who died in his 30s of AIDS-related illnesses. Truly devastating, and like no other comic you've read."

The list author says:
	"Contains the three books of Halo Jones. Books 1 and 2 are enjoyable, but book 3 is magnificent. Watchmen and From Hell made Alan Moore's reputation, but of all his work, I love Halo Jones the best."

The list author says:
	"Most of the first six volumes of Cerebus are superb, but this is the highlight. Funny, intelligent, unpredictable and even a little touching beneath the cynical grey exterior."

The list author says:
	"In the style of a Hong Kong action film, this is Wolverine versus a trained assassin modelled on Sean Connery. One of the few X-Men comics which are as enjoyable as the first two movies."

The list author says:
	"Scott Pilgrim is 23. His life revolves around girls, videogames, and his (not very good) rock band. One of the most charming comics ever."

The list author says:
	"Cops in Gotham City don't just get to go home once they switch on the bat signal... This is HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET in a world of masked crimefighters."

The list author says:
	"Written at a teenage level (but anyone will enjoy it), this is the story of Pedro Zamora, AIDS activist and star of MTV's The Real World: San Francisco. Warning: you will cry at the end."

The list author says:
	"My favourite Jack Kirby comic. Not only does it burn through ideas at a pace unmatched in pop culture, it also features the legendary Don Rickles two-parter, which has to be seen to be believed."

The list author says:
	"The story of Buddy Bradley, one of the many embittered denizens of grunge-era Seattle. Disgusting, mean-spirited, and hilarious."

The list author says:
	"Sacco's reportage comic about Bosnia is a triumph. Deftly balances the big (political history of the region) with the small (drinking with his Bosnian friends, singing Eagles songs at high volume)."

The list author says:
	"Nothing quite equals the thrill of watching Garth Ennis hit main gear on Preacher. Well-observed, foul-mouthed, subversive: it's everything comics weren't supposed to be."

The list author says:
	"Miller and Mazzucchelli's definitive tale of the Man Without Fear. Justly lauded for their Batman: Year One, that work has more polish; this has more heart."
