| 1. Batman: The Killing Joke | 
|
By: Alan Moore
Publisher: Action Direct Distribution
1988-11
Alan Moore is the greatest comic book writer of all time. His portrayal of the Joker is dark, violent, and irrational. Bolland's illustrations bring the book to life and tell a narrative of their own. Read it once and you'll want more. read it again and you'll catch all the little things you missed the first time through. But you'll still want more... more

| 2. Batman: A Death in the Family | 
|
By: Jim Starlin, Jim Aparo, Mike DeCarlo
Publisher: Action Direct Distribution
1988-12
It's been a while since the publication of this comic. A dreaded re-read only confirmed my very poor opinion of this comic. It can't be the worst comic ever (it has Jim Aparo as illustrator) So work it out by subtractive deduction... more

Publisher: Action Direct Distribution
1989-06
You like adventure, heroes with a twist, and appreciate great pencils and panel composure - this is for you.
I never understood why Moebius - a.k.a. Giraud - did not make it big in the US. Marvel will reissue his terrific Silver Surfer graphic novel next month, but apart from that and an occasional Sci-Fi story here and there - nothing.

By: Dave Louapre
Publisher: Action Direct Distribution
1991-04

I've through great lengths to collect them all over the past few years. Some are more novel than others but all are graphic, and the best of them capture some of the best morbid/avant... more
