Time for a new comics thread. I know a lot of you like to read comics (or graphic novels, but for me it's a shit term so i stick with 'comics')
I'd love to hear about your faves!
A few that pop into my mind. I'll surely forget stuff i'll add on.
Anything by:
- Chris Ware - Michael Kupperman - Crumb - vaughn Bodé - Art Spiegelman - Suehiro Maruo - Hideshi hino - Usamaru Furuya - Kazuo Umezu - Clamp - Kazuichi Hanawa - Junji Ito - Katsuhiro Otomo - Taiyou Matsumoto - Yoshiharu Tsuge - Osamu Tezuka ********************* - Berserk by Kentaro Miura - The world is mine by Hideki Harai - Fist of the north star by Tetsuo Hara and Buronson - Ushijima by Shohei Manabe - Doraemon by Fujiko F Fujio - Parasite by Hitoshi Iwaaki - Haruka na Machi e by Jiro Taniguchi - Stairway to Heaven by Makoto Kobayashi
ATM i'm reading two sweet mangas, not so adult but fun. Letter Bee by Hiroyuki Asada and Hunter X Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Yoshitaka Amano Maruo Robert Crumb Anything Mike Mignola Junko Mizuno Wendy Pini Kiko Takemiya the list is endless... For a seriously emotive experience for both minds and eyes I recommend Jimmy Corrigan by Chris Ware.(with thanks to RD for the heads up on this one)
Adult/Erotic/Pornographic Comic artists- ********************************* Willey-Sweet Gwendoline series Embleton& Mullally-Oh Wicked Wanda!(from penthouse in the 70s and 80s)

Nice. Though oddly the list isn't endless for me. I filtered out a lot of stuff to stay with the real big boys (and girls, like Clamp).
Clamp can appear to be very girly, depending on the book. I really recommend Tokyo Babylon, X and xxxHolic. Clover for the artwork. I'm currently reading RG Veda by them.

I started off on 2000ad,and still have a few heavy metals.I think the first comic I ever bought was a D.C. and it was Logans Run.I spent my swimming money on it and hid in the bandstand next to the baths to read it.

World War Hulk is great also.

Well nor am I, I just...know what I like. If youre interested in the marvel/DC genre at all, I always really enjoy the evil nemesi of female characters,try and find some Female Furies-Bernadeth,Lashina,Stompa,Gilotina & Mad Harriet.Always good for a (camp) laugh.

I was reading Gantz but I haven't kept up(stopped around issue 300). Similarly I'm catching up on the Marvel Civil War stuff because I missed all that. Pick up The Walking Dead books when they come out. As for one off books, I'll read pretty much anything.
Recommendation of today, Night Fisher by R. Kikuo Johnson. It's a few years old and short but it's excellent.
