| 1. Al Williamson's Flash Gordon: A Lifelong Vision of the Heroic | 
|
By: Al Williamson
Publisher: Flesk Publications
January 15, 2009
This in an extraordinary book. While one reviewer complained of the art being in black and white, I could not be more pleased--Here we start with Flash Gordon #1 in 1966. Williamson was 35 years old and in his absolute prime. Some pages are obviously shot from copies but many of the pages are reproduced from originals. This is a book to savor, to pour over and enjoy over time, a book to come back to... more

| 2. Showcase Presents: Bat Lash |

By: Sergio Aragones, Denny O'Neil
Publisher: DC Comics

In the late 1960's and early 1970's, DC Comics were know for its war and western titles, as well as for its Superheroes. Sgt Rock, The Unknown Soldier, Haunted Tank, The Losers Jonah Hex, and Bat Lash shared space with Superman, Batman and the Justice League
Many liked the stories of Bat Lash. You must remember at that time, stories of a character was usually an issue adventure, rather... more

| 3. Tom Strong's Terrific Tales: v. 1 | 
|
By: Alan Moore, Steve Moore, Arthur Adams, Sergio Aragones
Publisher: Titan Books Ltd
January 21, 2005
Overall this book is enjoyable if you are a Tom Strong fan. The 'Terrific Tales' venue allows for different stories than in the regular title, so these stories do a have different flavor to them. Personally, I purchased this book for the Jonni Future stories because of the Art Adams art and the silly pulp feel to them... more

| 4. Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror Spine-tingling Spooktacular | 
|
April 18, 2008
I will admit, my favourite page on this was "Sideshow Bob's Prison Time Amusement Page", but it kept having cryptic answers to all the puzzles like "the joy is in the finding out" and "I'll tell you what's wrong with this picture! Despite all the atrocities Bart Simpson has committed against me, I'm the one in prison...for exercising my right to be an evil genius...oh, and the duck has a boot."\... more

| 5. Usagi Yojimbo Book 7 |
|
By: Stan Sakai
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
November 13, 1996
I've been reading these books in their respective order, and I can say without a doubt that Stan Sakai's skill in writing and drawing improves with each book.
I was distraught about these tales after reading the first volume, but now I simply cannot put them down! Book 7, especially, grows deep with emotion and character with every flip of a page, and you learn so much about the diverse... more

| 6. Sergio Aragones Actions Speak |
|
By: Sergio Aragones
Publisher: Dark Horse
May 29, 2002
Back in the sixties, when I was a reader of Mad magazine, there were these little wordless cartoons on the side of pages of the regular features. These tiny little cartoons were the work of Sergio Aragones, and they were well worth seeking out (with a sharp eye, or a good set of eye glasses!) In later years Sergio, would at last have full pages devoted to his work, but for me those early tiny cartoons... more

| 7. The Groo Adventurer (Reprints Groo 1-4) |
|
By: Sergio Aragones, Mark Evanier
Publisher: Marvel Enterprises
1990-12
If it is a comic you seek
you needn't be a nerd or geek
Look further than this book
likely lying in a bookstore nook
The book contains four tales of Groo
a wanderer and adventurer too
Cheese dip and mulch he does adore
but not as much as fighting and war
one thing only left to tell you now
Groo is stupider than a cow... more

| 8. Groo: Hell on Earth | 
|
By: Mark Evanier, Sergio Aragones
Publisher: Dark Horse
March 04, 2009
I didnt find it to be too political, nor did I find it any less funny than previous Groo titles. Ive never found Groo to be overly laugh out loud funny and this volume doent change that. Im still waiting for "the Groo Playground" and whatever happened to "The Groo Treasury Volume 1"... more

| 9. Groo: Houndbook |
|
By: Sergio Aragones, Mark Evanier
Publisher: Dark Horse
June 09, 1999
For a long time I avoided this title, despite the fact that I enjoyed most of writer Mark Evanier's other books (with the exception of kiddie books like "Huckleberry Hound" and "Heathcliff"). But one month I wasn't going to be able to make in to my local comic book shop and I asked him to pull my usual books. Instead, he pulled one of every title, including Groo.
I read that issue and... more
