i need a good comic to read

I can suggest ' Books of Magic ' or if you`ll keep up reading for a long time dig in for Dark Horse`s Star Wars new timeline.(Wait for a while&take them as omnibooks, it gets cheaper)

Dresden Codak. http://dresdencodak.com/index.html
His art is interesting and he sometimes plays around with some pretty high-concept science/psychology but it usually isn't as good as the comic posted.

Richard Corben?
Man, I used to love Corben as a kid (violence! boobies!). Looking back, his stuff isn't all that interesting.

Not particularly cerebral, but some of it still nets the occasional guffaw.

Moebius' short stuff is le brill d'utter

Moebius is kick ass.

Where could I get Bilal's stuff on the interweb?

Someone gave me a torrent, here on this site, before? But it may have been demonoid... pirate bay has nothing, I donno, look at z-cult? I can't figure that site out though, sorrry

i finished hard boiled & found it to be mad decent. trying the nikopol trilogy now, the goings are slow but... fruitful. the visuals are quite

i'll probably be looking for more comix soon, any of you caucasoids got a z-cult invite to trade for... some other sort of invite?

the film based on the nikopol was fucking horrible. The only value perhaps is that the trilogy fans can wank to the now-moving

visuals.

David Mairowitz und robert crumb's kafka book is quite gut, just fyi

I have only read Metamorphosis yet. I think the book might spoil the fun of future reads. Maybe I'll have a look at it later.

atoga · Post by **atoga** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 5:21 pm

yeah, i own that crumb-illustrated kafka book, pretty :OG: alright. iirc the fella who once drew spy vs. spy for mad magazine also drew a comic version of the metamorphosis (which is quite good?)

Definately go for Der Prozess next, it has far more depth than Metamorphosis. Excellent book.

Thor Kaufman · Post by **Thor Kaufman** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 6:16 pm

I dont really care about depth, I found metamorphosis to be quite a lulzy read but thanks for the tip, I might just read Der Prozess next. :cigar;

...sie hÃ¤tten ihre Arme nur unter seinen gewÃ¶lbten RÃ¼cken schieben, ihn so aus dem Bett schÃ¤len, sich mit der Last niederbeugen und dann bloÃŸ vorsichtig dulden mÃ¼ssen, daÃŸ er den Ãœberschwung auf dem FuÃŸboden vollzog, wo dann die Beinchen hoffentlich einen Sinn bekommen wÃ¼rden. Nun, ganz abgesehen davon, daÃŸ die TÃ¼ren versperrt waren, hÃ¤tte er wirklich um Hilfe rufen sollen? Trotz aller Not konnte er bei diesem Gedanken ein LÃ¤cheln nicht unterdrÃ¼cken.

edit: lawl I just ordered it for 3bucks on amazon, the shipping costs probably cost amazon more than their earnings out of this sale.

Look into this. I keep up with his webcomic, but now that he's publishing stuff I'd recommend giving that a try.

Robert Crumb? The guy who draws the girls with huge thighs/asses?

I've seen a few of those at the local Barnes & Noble

atoga, as your lawyer I highly recommend reading The Invisibles because it's top notch stuff and nico is, for all intents and purposes, an asshole

l'edit: for all intents and purposes I might also have a z-cult invite lying around too

Nicolai · Post by **Nicolai** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 10:03 pm

z-cult is a horrible site, man. the forum is full of dreadnoughts and the trackers are devoid of neat stuff

better head on over to the comic hubs on direct connect, which is where all the cool cats party. you'll have to share a few gigs of comics to get in because that's how we roll at the school of hard knocks (I'm sharing 100+ GB of comics right now

:represent: )

oh and I'm totally not an asshole

The Invisibles is interesting, but it does feel quite dated, and the quality is not particularly consistent. did a reread of it upon coming into the possession of da trades quite recently. was much better five years ago
