>Blazing Combat
War action by Archie Goodwin, Red Crandall, Alex Toth, Joe Orlando, etc
>Cherry Poptart
The comedic sexual adventures of 18-year ol Cherry
>Conan
The stories of the Barbarian over the years. Both Marvel’s and Dark Horse’s books highly recommended

>>
>>94586343
Anything 2000 AD, really. Although the protags of a fair number of the other strips would probably count as superheroes (mutants, supersoldiers, wizard-scientists, etc.) while Dredd is just one really tough fucker with a big chin and a bigger gun.

the original Dark Horse Conan series is the best comic ever

Scout is also one of the best post-apocalyptic stories ever in any medium

Hawks of Outremer is a personal favorite

The Goon (or really anything by Eric Powel) is a great comic. Goon is gritty and dark, but also manages to work in comedy without ruining the moment

Alien and Predator comics are great if you're a fan of either of those things, but they're not quite as scary as they could be

What >>94586929 said. I had a blast reading old Weird war tales and Garth Ennis' Battlefields (and his other war stuff). Six gun gorilla by Boom studios was also cool, as well as Alien vs. Predator comics about Machiko Noguchi (oroginal/War/Three worlds war), if you are into that.

Grendel Tales was a mixed bag of mostly self contained stories. Some were good, some were fanfic level terrible.

And there there was this, which is my favourite stand-alone TP of all time. It's such a fucking shame we'll never get to see more of Ed's work.

I'd specifically point out Nikolai Dante, which is more like a science-fiction romance / war story with a charming rogue for a hero. Fantastic baddies too. Vladimir the Conqueror gets all the best lines.

2000AD's supernatural stories are almost always worth a look too, particularly those by Ian Edginton. I've really enjoyed Leviathan, Stickleback, Ampney Crucis Investigates and Absalom.

After reading Jason's Camino comic I was so moved that I am now planning on walking the pilgrimage path myself one day, i.e. spend roughly four weeks covering almost 800 kilometers on foot. I have also began questioning my own sanity for having committed to this laborious task just because I read a comic about it.

I love "De cape et de crocs", but I don't think it was published in English, plus it's full of puns and references which can be a bit obscure.

The Hunting Party and The Black Order Brigade are two great political thriller one-shots made by Pierre Christin and Enki Bilal
