Not so much these days. But I have a significant collection of Chester Gould dick Tracy's from when I was younger. Used to love those. Published by Gladstone.
And I still have plenty of Harvey comics.
There was this Micky Mouse detective series which I also loved. Also published by Gladstone, if I'm not mistaken.

Big fan. Mostly Japanese ones though not the stuff kids lap up. I like my boring Gekiga style stuff and horror and ero-grotesque!
Not yet delved into the world of superheroes. With american stuff i like Chris Ware and Michael Kupperman. Loved Calvin n Hobbes to bits when i was a child. Peanuts is lovely.
It all started reading my aunt's belgian comics. Tintin and Lucky Luke, the Smurfs. I used to love sleeping at her place as a child as i could read comics in bed at night as a treat.

yeah, dig a few, Battle Angel Alita is great, loved to read the Akira Mangas aswell. Durham Red & Druuna comics also stood out for me.
All in all i havent seen/read many, but theres tons and tons
of really good comic books out there, story and art-wise, often coming in a series of 3 books à 60 pages. in germany we get lots of good stuff via Splitter Verlag, who have quite a quality catalogue.

If you search on the net there is a "walking the dead" video game that is a bit like a comic/choose you own adventure game. It looks really pretty/gore-y. On Xbox/PC/OSX and everything.

Ah, yes. Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes and Tin Tin (and other Herg¨¦). More staple diet from my childhood. Asterix was big too, but never read much of it.
The peanuts animated series is good too. Love the music.
Comic books used to be so cheap (not the anthologies of course). Good memories going down to the shop, picking up a comic, crisps and fizzy drink and going home to indulge.

Is Family Circus supposed to be like a drug? I used to like it because of its bland charm, but I now realize that it could be used to take one into some other dimension. Sort of the same reason I used to watch Scooby Doo.

Ah yeah forgot about Asterix. I would try and imagine the taste of the magic potion. Aah the wilderbeast. Captain Haddock made me want to drink alcohol. I just had this idea that it must be delicious.
Anyone seen Tintin the movie thing?

It's not bad but it lacks the charm of the books, I'm still creeped out by its Uncanny Valley factor.

It was pretty good. Not amazing but entertaining. It's a mish mash of a few stories. And it did lack charm, indeed. Some of the scenes were quite Indiana Jonesish. Memory's a bit vague, but apparently Spielberg bought the rights for Tin Tin around the time Indiana Jones came out and that was one of the reasons it was given to him, because of the movie(s).
Opinions on the movie by Tin Tin fans.
The Ellipse/Nelvana adaptations were very faithful, especially as far as the art goes. Obviously they had to cut a lot to fit it into such short episodes. Now that was a good reason to get up early on a Sunday morning.

I like "Leviathan" (2000AD).
Nemesis the Warlock is great. It's funny and whimsical, but a serious allegory, critical of racism all at the same time. I was lucky enough to read it young enough that the aliens were the 'baddies' by default to my child-brain and then re-reading it when I was older I saw the folly of my prejudice. It made the experience all the richer and my appreciation for it deeper.
Most of the Batman stuff that is regarded as classics I like a lot.
Watchmen and V for Vendetta are great too.
I think my all time favourite has to be Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. It's one of my favourite stories of any media and has influenced my belief structure and the characters from it sometimes appear in my dreams, which is both amazing and apt.

I love ANime and Japanese Culture. I know a lot of Japanese camics and I can read them even thought they go back wards. I can#t wait to go to Japan and Be Welcomed With Open Arms because I am Familiar With Their Cartoon Culture and Langugae in Its Most basic.

Did anyone read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Century: 2009?
What did you think of it as an end to the story?
Who am I kidding, no one read it.
