The Rocketeer (1991)

2 people recommended this item

Description

Billy Campbell may have fallen to the 4400, while you might question Jennifer Connoley's artistic choices (The Hulk? Dark Water?), but they were young and fresh and beautiful in this wildlyadventurous, good-humored, and romantic action pic based on a really terrific graphic novel. Holds up great!

EPICURUS THE SAGE

First to recommend

Description

William Messner-Loebs was one of the first of the modernish comics writers to do g.n. that wasn't about masked vigilantes in any way -- in fact, he decided to go as far away in time and space as he could manage, to a slightly goofy and entirely fascinating look at ancient Rome and its sages. The cartoonish and affable ink-brush style that Sam Kieth uses here is perfect for the equally askew story and characters, and the whole book shows just how far from the norm you can go and still do something kind'a wonderful.

V for Vendetta

First to recommend

9 people recommended this item

Description

Forget the movie. It's like highlights of the best scenes, and nothing more. For REAL depth and danger, look inside the g.n. This isn't about revolution; it's about **anarchy**, about no-government vs. ANY government...and with a deft, cold stroke, Moore paints a future England even more bleak than it is today, utterly brought to half-life (as far as it can manage) by David Lloyd's amazing art. Hard to bleieve this was a middle-of-the-book serial in a British black-and-white anthology comic back in The Day; it reads as if it was built in a single, nightmarish session...crammed with hard things to say.

Watchmen

Description

Alan Moore is a god. That's all there is to it. He was the first and best to 'explode' the superhero myth by bringing it poetically and painfully into a 'real' world, and the only thing as good as this story is Dave Gibbons' exquisite, precise art. Published as a 12-issue mini, but really, TRULY, a novel, it's the best of its kind, bar none.
