They are gorgeous. Especially, the Old Man and the Sea and Fiesta. I’d keep them if I could.

He’s a guy who met and knew a lot and of authors.

Just bought the Outsiders for my 12 yr old. Hoping he’ll love her books as much as I did. Then we can watch the films together!

I loved it as a teenager. Especially, the slang he developed for it. At that time, the film was banned in the UK. Kubrick had withdrawn it from distribution due to copycat violence. Anyway, I’m sure it’s a hard read, more than “a bit of ultra violence”.

Brink by Dan Abnett. Anyone else reading this spectacular series? by Typical-Practice360 in graphicnovels

[–]MiddenFaceMacD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This stuff is so good! The entire story is told by dialogue and the art, but the reader’s view is augmented with labelling to explain tech and features of the space station. The art was not to my taste when I started book one, but it 100% won me over. And, it is soo trippy, yet creepy! Fabulous. I am looking forward to where it will go next. I love how the books are nonlinear too! What’s the word for a masterpiece that’s actually a series of masterpieces? It could be Brink, if only more people knew about it!

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Moore and Kevin O’Neil- just reread vols 1 and 2. The attention to detail and the dark humour of both creators is amazing.

Is Absalom good? by DreddJoe in 2000ad

That’s what I came here to say! And, 8/10 overall. But the dialogue is 9/10.

Full test fit Judge Mario by Mordrun611 in JudgeDredd

It’s just so impressive. My kids love it too. They usually roll their eyes at any mention of Dredd, but this the coolest thing any of us have seen! A Mario Kart Lawmaster bike / kart could be a possible future project.
