Re: Comics/Graphic Novels

Stray Toasters by Bill Sienkewicz is a sublimely trippy tale, beautifully executed in the style that Bill made his own and everyone copied. I think it's recently been re-issued in one volume - well worth hunting down. Frank Miller's Elektra Assassin and Daredevil re-tellings (also illustrated brilliantly by BS) are really a must have in any graphic novel collection. Anything by Moore - try getting hold of the unfinished Big Numbers (only 2 of them) and try to work out where it was going. If you don't have V For Vendetta and Watchmen then you're not really a comic fan! Not sure about Gaiman?? Try Violent Cases which is a short and easy read and a good starter for his style, or read Good Omens, and then tackle Sandman. Batman - Year One is easily the pick of the bunch of the 'new' Batman stories, Dark Knight Returns and Killing Joke follow closely for me, maybe Arkham Asylum, but all must-haves
