Lately I'm getting this fetish for comics. They're like buying vinyl, they feel good to hold and the exctiement when you buy them is very similar. I've been getting into The Secret heavily - great artwork.
You like comics?

The only serious comic book I ever read besides Simpsons Comics and collections of Peanuts was The Watchmen. Fantastic book from the authors of V for Vendetta. They're going to making a film about it soon, I hear.

Zak Sally (former Low bassist) makes some beautiful and compelling comics in addition to running a great publishing company, La Mano press. Extremely talented.
He had a book release party tonight that I should be at, but had too many things to take care of at home to attend. He played with his Wipers cover band too; I saw them at the Heliotrope festival and it was pretty balls-on. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/articl...ers-cover-band http://lamano21.com |

I don't even want to step into a comics book store. I'd be hooked immediately. The LP jones is trouble enough.

I have to stay away from comic stores, for I will spend too much money.
I used to collect batman, x-men, the hulk, things like that when I was a kid , which i still re-read I also got into underground comics in the early 90's. My faves are Maus (I got my hardbound copy signed by art spiegelman!) Love & Rockets The watchmen Sin City Batman Jimbo Zippy the Pinhead anything by will eisner from hell etc etc

bill sienkewicz is one of my idols. he did the very first 6 issues of the SHADOW when it came out in late 80's. fucking amazing art. That shadow run (about 23 issues) is my favorite comic book.

Hey, me, too! Only I bet I was much earlier collector--talking 1960s, early 1970s. The Golden Age. Or one of them. Man, I had some great stuff, too. Also Captain Marvel, Green Lantern, Flash, Detective Comics. For a while in junior high, I thought I wanted to become a comic book artist. That was way, way before that kind of thing was considered cool, though. I had to keep it a secret from my friends that I still read comics at 14 and 15. It was really hard buying comics--I'd have to go to the drug store during off-times I didn't think many other kids would be out.

The new Jonah Hex series has been pretty good. The recent 5 issue Scarface series (that follows Tony subsequent to the big shootout in the mansion that he survives!) was great, but the Tony Montana Scarface Prequel that comes out next month may be even better. And I await the annual/semiannual release of a new Hate!

those freak-ass Japanese comics pay my bills! ![]() I love Death Note - about a young genius kid that finds a death god's notebook and tries to make the world better by making all the heinous criminals in the world die of heart attacks. I just finished volume 11. MPD Psycho is awesome it's about a detective with multiple personality disorder that's chasing a criminal soul that's able to jump from person to person. It confusing brutal and brilliant. Vagabond is a brilliantly drawn and written story about the life of the famous Samurai Miyamoto Musashi. And everyone needs to read lots of Crumb, The Watchmen, Sandman, Stray Bullets...and pretty much everything by James Kochalka. Oh - - and Floating SLowly and Rob Instigator are right...Bill Sienkiewicz is awesome!!

You have to read them backwards, though. That's just freaky.
