I think I'll have to vote for From Hell too, unless I can choose all of Cerebus? <BR/><BR/>I'm going to be a sad pedant and mention that I'm unsure about some of the choices on the list, namely the Cerebus, Sandman and Preacher options as they're only parts of a whole. It's either all of Cerebus or none of it for me. <BR/><BR/>Rory's listed some great stuff too, some Tintin and Asterix should definitely be up there. I almost voted for The Castiafore Emerald but I think in terms of major pieces of work and showing what the medium is capable of, From Hell or Cerebus are more suitable choices. There's a noticeable lack of any Tezuka too. And no Love & Rockets either! <BR/><BR/>See you at Brum hopefully!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018468275025583672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611367906675631847.post-32804657153139136242008-07-23T09:37:00.000+01:002008-07-23T09:37:00.000+01:00From Hell is probably it or perhaps The Freak Brot...From Hell is probably it or perhaps The Freak Brothers in The Idiots Abroad, not just 'cos they are published by me, but also the completeness of the story and art in each book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611367906675631847.post-74268985479450355702008-07-02T13:57:00.000+01:002008-07-02T13:57:00.000+01:00Garen - Good call!

Some good ones I'd missed and they will be taken into consideration and at least 3 will get in if no one votes for the other titles mentioned above. I still owe you that blad!! Oy! Sorry.<BR/><BR/>Chris - I didn't even get a credit for my reviews AT ALL! Still I am mentioned as commissioning editor at the front so I can't complain! Yup, I spotted those gaffs (and a whole load more besides)! They'll get corrected when the book goes to reprint, and if you spot anymore pass them on to Ilex. 500 Essential Manga anyone...?TimTruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11980759779084868041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611367906675631847.post-51149589646904489022008-07-02T12:20:00.000+01:002008-07-02T12:20:00.000+01:00We got the book in at Diamond this week, and I'm d...We got the book in at Diamond this week, and I'm delighted with how it looks.<BR/>It is a little disappointing that we didn't get credits on the individual reviews, but I was kind of expecting that, so it wasn't a surprise. <BR/>I also spotted two mistakes immediately, firstly that the cover was credited to Bernie Krigstein rather than Jaime Hernandez, and in my review of Toth's Zorro, a reference to Kirby & Ditko was expanded to Josh Kirby & Steve Ditko...doh!<BR/>Nitpicking aside, it's a lovely book, and I'm immensely proud to have been a part of it. Now let's hope it sells well enough to warrant a sequel!Chris Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617704141089319716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611367906675631847.post-51448700911591197192008-07-01T15:10:00.000+01:002008-07-01T15:10:00.000+01:00Here's a few more suggestions, all of which I like...Here's a few more suggestions, all of which I like a lot - <BR/><BR/>Domu, <BR/>Maus (1 and 2 or the complete works), <BR/>Northwest Passage, <BR/>Laika, <BR/>Paul goes Fishing, <BR/>The David Wenzel adaptation of The Hobbit, <BR/>Castle Waiting, <BR/>Paul has a summer job, <BR/>Paul moves out, War's End, <BR/>Palestine, <BR/>The Fixer, <BR/>Salmon Doubts, <BR/>Melmoth (Cerebus book 6), <BR/>Gemma Bovery, <BR/>Hewligans Haircut, <BR/>and Akira (all 6 volumes of it)<BR/><BR/>I'd also like to suggest a lot of the Asterix books and a selection of TinTin numbers.roryroryroryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832970819917647259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611367906675631847.post-64945347078682645592008-07-01T12:10:00.000+01:002008-07-01T12:10:00.000+01:00Very difficult to choose a favourite 'graphic nove...Very difficult to choose a favourite 'graphic novel', but a perennial fave of mine is 'From Hell'... so that's my vote!Garenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235615048579159984noreply@blogger.com
