David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Whenever you see her, you like to sit with her and have a talk. She is the kind of person you admire, the way she talks, and the topics she discusses. She makes you convenient, and never talks about nonsense topics. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,756 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Edit: I'm actually checkin out graphic novels if anyone has suggestions.. I'm assuming that you have already read all the Sin City books by Frank Miller. Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art reads like a history textbook in comic form, but it's super interesting and will give you tons of ideas on what to read. Look for Art Spiegelman stuff. Maus is good. Anything by Will Eisner will also be great. Contract with God immediately comes to mind. (Although there is a fair amount of nudity, so nsfw) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Understanding comics is a great choice and I often forget it, it's one of the main reasons I started taking graphic narrative art seriously. Don't know what your tastes lie, but a couple non-superheroy stuff I'd recommend is Jimmy Corrigan Smartest kid on earth. Anything by Joe Sacco. He's a "comic journalist" reporting on war zones around the world in comic form, it's really amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
mrfritz 902 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 two recommendations for understanding comics, Ima have to get it. funny you mention Sacco, I just started Palestine, and I am lovin it so far. Link to post Share on other sites
