Graphic Novels / Comics

which graphic novels/comics would lainanons recommend? i only got into the medium recently and am currently trying to create a list with interesting works like love & rockets or eternauta

Probably a low-hanging fruit, oh well - I read Transmetropolitan years ago (I intend to give it another whirl, now I've reminded myself) and thus I'm not sure to what extent I can vouch for it. But I have a fairly strong hunch it'll be of interest to some people here. If I were to pick any off the top of my head, start here.

I would recommend "Forming" by Jesse Moynihan, who was one of the writers on Adventure Time and the art director for The Midnight Gospel. He does it all by hand, painting and stuff. Touches on occult-like symbolism and religion but also has some fun with words instead of being stuck up. Also "The Incal" by Moebius and Jodorowsky, in my opinion underrated. The art is amazing and you can tell Jodorowsky worked on it.

>>8489 Transmetropolitan is really good, I should re-read it. lainchan use to have a lot of spider posters back in the day.

>>8490 already had the incal on my list, but forming seems quite interesting thanks >>8489 >>8491 heard many good things about it, but the character designs and the impression the work makes as whole is kinda off-putting to me have you read planetary? there's a rather cheap omnibus release of that one so i was considering maybe reading it first to give warren elis a try

Ancient failed cartoonist here. I'll give you my two cents. Love & Rockets, by the Hernandez brothers Maus, by Art Spiegelman Cerebus, Dave Sim Bone, by Jeff Smith Fax from Sarajevo, by Joe Kubert A Contract With God, by Will Eisner Alack Sinner, José Muñoz and Carlos Sampayo Rio, by Doug Wildey The Incal, by Alejandro Jodorowsky The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman MW, by by Osamu Tezuka Lone Wolf and Cub, by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima Akira, by Katsuhiro Otomo Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud Comic Tales, by Angus McKie The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, by Gilbert Shelton Howard the Duck, by Steve Gerber and Gene Colan Anything by Robert Crumb, Vaughn Bode or Moebius.

>>8498 great post, some titles on there weren't on my radar have you perhaps also read gerber's man-thing?

>>8499 Not all of it, but what I have was amazing.

>>8498 I should add Journey: The Adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire, by William Messner-Loebs.
