my fave artist is phil jimenez. he did wonder woman for 3 years, he just did infinite crisis and he has his own comic called otherworld……….best bet go to a comic book shop look around till something catches your eye. check out the old/used bins they’re much cheaper you may even be able to get ’em in bulk for $1 each………………..good luck
Here are some great works that go beyond your tipical Comic Book Store catallog:
Tank Girl – Martin & Hewlett
The Spirit – Will Eisner
The Ballad of The Salted Sea (Corto Maletese) – Hugo Pratt
The Adventures of Blueberry – Or anything by Moebius
Valerian – Christin & Mezieres
The Adventures of Tin-Tin – Herge
Asterix & Obelix – Uderzo
Arkham Asylum (Batman)
The Dark Night Returns (Batman) – Frank Miller
If you really wanna get into comics for the artwork definetly check out the Batman hush seriers. Ummmm, pretty much also anything Frank Miller (the guy that wrote SIn City), and also check out the artwork on the new Civil Wars that are coming out, some the the artwork are just amazing
My 11 yr old son reads Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, & others I can’t remember!
the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman kicks butt.
There are 10, but you can read them in any order.
Porbably the best graphic novel to appear in the past couple of decades is “Dark Knight Returns” by Frank Miller. I would read a few of the Batman origin collections, first, so you can understand what Miller is paying homage and expanding on. But if you like Batman, this is a brilliant story, with pathos, great art, and a few surprises.
Marvel, Alexander Dumas, Hugh Heffner.
Judge Dredd was great. What a bastard!
