Buyfag? Shelfthread? Shitposting about painted comics? Then please,

Good taste. I've never read Dungeon myself, just some McConey and his Little Nothings books. Sfar is great too

I had a flip through a friend's copy of Alack Sinner, looks like something I need to pick up. Everybody's raving about it

Dungeon is absolutely brilliant.

The first issue of Spy Seal was quite enjoyable, looking forward for more.

>TFW when you like an artist, buy all of their works and a print, but then burn out on them by the time everything arrives
What's their name, /shelf/?

>>95019151
That all looks pretty neat. I've been stocking up on spooktober comics, so my shelf's average qyality is slipping a little. Dungeon looks like the perfect thing to bring it back up.

>>95019314
Yeah I'm an old (ish) cunt so I bought the five Fanta issues of Sinner they put out in '87-89, Munoz is a genius, Viet Blues is one of the best descriptions of US black/white race relations I've ever read....I have the Joe's bar GN too, not sure if that's in there...pick it up you won't be disappointed
I respect trondheim more than enjoy him. Great writer, not into his art too much desu.
>>95019458
You're totally not wrong there. I bought a few of those NBM double-packs they were doing but these were in the sale at my LCS, from £3:50 to a fiver...I love the amount of incredible "alternative" BD cartoonists that work on the series.
Respect fro buying Spy Seal! I've loved Tommasso for years, back to his Clover Honey (not really a) "Clowes copyist" period, to The Haunting of Collier County from dark Horse maverick, 8 1/2 Ghosts and the short-lived Miriam series from Alternative (all except maybe Clover Honey are very, very recommended) and now to his Image stuff, dark Corridor, got She-Wolf in my hold box...Tommasso is vstly under-rated imho. Love his stuff (never caught those coupla GN's he did for fanta 3 or 4 yers back, though....).

Got these over the course of the Summer. Looking to get Marvel Premiere #1 and #2 before the year's out. Those early Warlock stories really get me going.

Fucking shit-hot Bronze Age Marvel...great stuff. Sorry to sound like a peesa pretentious hipster shite (which I kind of am) but I cannot read 99% of modern capestuff, King's vision and Zdarsky's Howard The Duck were the last things I bought and (really) enjoyed.
>>95020695
What's the Abe Sapien stuff like? Caught a somewhat dissappointing storytime on here few years back, I LOVE the BPRD stuff, especially the Guy Davis-drawn arcs, fuckin' amazing artist. On the fence about ol' Abe, tho'.
>>95021267
Is Locas II still in print? I can't remember whether it was 1 or 2 that I saw going for an insane price on E-Bay--not a one-off, either, most sellers were selling for big money. Great taste for that alone. I cannot bring myself to trust anyone who does not love, or at the very least enjoy L & R.
>>95021293
Preddy damn good taste there, man. D'ya know if Killing and Dying is a compendium of all the Optic Nerve issues from 12 (or was it 11? Anyway, I mean the re-launched ones with the fancy half-sized vertical covers) to 14 0r just selected stories from each of the newest issues?
I bloody loved Rachel Rising. Thinking about getting one or two copies so I can give one to my gf, it'll be totally her type of thing, she's not what you'd call a comics fanatic, more of a "chipper". Predictably, she enjoys Sandman. Digs the fuck outta Clowes, though....
>>95021537

Locas II is still in print. Locas and Palomar are both out of print and extremely expensive. And I have no idea about Killing and Dying. I received it as a gift last year from a friend. And I agree with Rachel Rising. Terry Moore is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers.

30 dollarydoos is most certainly normal price, friend. Tut, you're not telling me you don't read the blog of sane of an extremely normal and well adjusted man known as Dave Sim?! That's where I vaguely remember the news about him re-acquiring the negs, can't remember whether they were lost because of fire, fuckery, insanity or whatever but that's the reason why, up until a coupla years back (roughly) the phonebooks were incredibly fucking expensive. Thanks, gonna re-invested, I swapped the first five I had when someone made me an offer too good to refuse.
>>95022126
Yup, yeah; that's right, I knew one or the other were OOP and very very pricey. Lucky to have those, kinda jelly, my fren'. Are they dust-jacketed? If so, what's the inner cover art like? I met Jaime in 2014 at L'Institute Francais in London as part of Paul Gravett's Comika fest, dude was SOOOOOO fucking nice( pic related!), got his art book signed w/a Frogmouth sketch, also got him to sign the front of the first L & R I ever bought (the classic Xaime mag-sized one with lots of negative space with Mags and Hopey in front of a line of cops. Him, Matthew Thurber and Dave Gibbons (who I have an amazing Martha sketch from) are probably the most interesting pros I've met. Never met an arsehole professional but really wanted to deck Leon Sadler, long story. Wil Sweeney seemed like a bit of a cock, though but wasn't outright rude.

Wich Dahmer film? probably yes, that comic was my first insight into the figure of Dahmer (Im not american, only vaguely remember as a kid seeing on TV some crazy shit about some dude in Milwaukee) and got me pretty interested.

Paying for it is the only thing I read from Chester Brown, I enjoyed it (liked the art style and the "flow" of the story) and got me looking for more Chester. What do you recommend?

Nothing really new because I'm only just scraping by this month.

I did manage to pick up one of those 2000 AD collection books though - The first issue is Slaine, for the low low price of £1.99 and I can't really fault the book itself. Solid binding as far as I can tell, good paper, and I'm tempted to carry on with the others. Nearly £800 over the subscription run though...

>>95028336

20$ a month though is manageable, unless youre reaalllllyyy scraping by.

Something that large and expensive is something I would read first in another format. Those who have those say they are great, but you should probably read the entire series before committing to them. It's a great book, but the absolutes are very expensive. I first read the series through my local library in older trades, and I recommend you do that first.

I would also like to ask some anons. Which do people think is better, the black bound omni or the absolutes? unless the absolutes are twice as much cost isn't a factor on this one for me.

Now with less feet

I have enough sites for comics, but what are a few sites for ordering regular books on the cheap?
Tried /lit/, but they have their heads stuck up their asses so they can smell their farts in the purest form possible.

I read the first trade and it sold me. Morrison's a tough sell for me, too. DC is a tough sell for me really.
I'm old as fuck and they lost me at the end of Crisis when they killed OG Earth 2; it was the best earth. How many times since have the big two tried to establish an alternate continuity only to have it crash and burn? Earth 2 was that and they just tossed it into the trash.

If you live in the US. Also has cheap comics.

I've got a bunch of shit in the mail.

Seven Soldiers of Victory 4
G.I. Joe Complete Collection 4
Gwenpool 3

Pretty fucking excited to finally finish reading Seven Soldiers. That's some good shit.

>>95031760
It's got some variety, like Stokoe doing Mr Zebra, fucking Hickman doing 1000 Oceans of all songs, John Ney Reiber on Winter, David Mack on Flying Dutchman, John Bivens on Leather (want to read that). An interesting variety

>>95031855
Anywhere else?

Bottom half were gifts and top ones were bought by me. Been making it a habit of getting more 2000ad stories. Next on my list are probably Nemesis the Warlock: Deviant Edition or both volumes of Stickleback and Shakara.

>>95031775
Then you need to read John's JSA and avoid New 52 Earth 2 for your own sake.
It started well enough, then the writer left and took his notes. The next guy wasn't bad at his job, but editorial was heavy about pushing a new Batman and Superman.
Then it got bad.
Then Abnett got ahold and tried to steer this sinking and burning ship to a crash land on the shore. Once could argue he managed it before the book was canceled.

>hitman trades
Are those still in print?
I'd kill to have the series, but not if it's going to cost me an arm and a leg.

>>95036699
I don't think they're still in print i got 2 and 3 from the 2010 reprints. I'm from Australia so they seemed cheap for someone in America but then digging a hole and dropping them in to get to me costs a bit.

Silver Age Doom Patrol is amazing. So, yes to that. I've never read Utena, since I'm not terribly big into manga beyond Berserk, DB, One Piece, and Gundam: The Origin.

>>95036578
I really liked that He-Man Thundercats crossover. Beautiful art too

Ordered Conan OmnibusVol 3 and Big Guy and Rusty the Robot HC just now.

>>95040726
lots of good stuff, especially the european books

>>95040726
Finally someone who can answer the question that has been bothering me for ages! I see that your copies of Xed Out and The Hive are from Jonathan Cape London, while Sugar Skull is from Pantheon Books.

Are the bindings of the two different editions of Charles Burns' Xed Out Trilogy (Jonathan Cape vs Pantheon Books) identical? Or does one of them have better binding? Of so, which one?

>>95041267
the binding is identical as far as I can tell, they're both sewn

>>95036578
Read the He-Man / Thundercats crossover in a storytime recently, definitely gonna be buying the trade.

I had a similar case with my Lord of the Rings stuff (comic related because they're illustrated), different publishers but exactly the same binding etc. Houghton Mifflin ones (the LotR boxes) are for the American market though while the HarperCollins ones are for the British/European market.

Stop, I really don't want to blindly buy this much of a single comic especially since I'm saving up for a doll, but my inner jew is calling me.

interior example for the hell of it. glossy paper throughout the whole book(s). if you don't like that for a novel, don't buy them.

I have 560 dollars what should I spend it on?

I'm thinking of getting

The Darkness Compendium 2
Geoff Johns Green Lantern Vol 1+2
Teen Titans Geoff Johns Omnibus
Gwenpool trades

>>95042338
why would you get anything Johns
get Richard Stark's Parker: The Martini Edition, Top 10 Absolute, Little Nemo: Dream another Dream, Big Damn Sin City, The Complete Neat Stuff and silver age omnibuses

>>95042490
>why would you get anything Johns
some people like fun

>>95041373
thanks!

>>95042338
who are the artists/authors on The Darkness Compendium? Silvestri? I think he is one of the most under rated artists on /co/. His writing isn't that great but his art is better than any of the others that started Image.

>>95041727

Was it really that good? I'll have to check out the archive. I usually stay away from that liscenced 80s stuff, other than TMNT

I just got in volume 1 of the Don Rosa Library

>>95043477
Now that the Gottfredson Library is finished and the Rosa library will be finished next year, i'm hoping Fantagraphics will start a William Van Horn library soon.

>>95043385
actually yes. It goes into dark parts, killing some characters in really brutal ways. But it keeps heart and hope alive like Thundercats HAVE to, cause that show is ALL about hope. And the art is fucking amazing, the colouring is far better than 95% of comics

>>95036659
>John's JSA
I read it- and sold the omnis. It wasn't to my taste. In Johns's stories threats nearly always come from within the team itself, or an alternate version of the team, or some other heroes (as in Infinite Crisis) and the lack of their own earth changes everything I liked about the JSA.

>>95045096

>>95042338

Johns' Lateran stuff is fantastic, but it doesn't include Green Lantern Corps which complimented his run wonderfully. I suggest getting it in trade so you can more easily read both.

That's how it's done in Barnes and Noble, at least. It makes sense with comics since many different creative teams can work on a single title, not that I see any examples there.

Though my organization's a cluster fuck, so I'm not really one to talk.

>>95045648

It's easy. Indie books that only have one team go by author. Titles owned by a company go by name. That's how it's done in Barnes and Noble for normal books. Heinlein, Tolkien, Gibson, etc etc end up in the long run of sci-fi/fantasy, while Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Warhammer, etc end up in another section. The rub with comics is that in a store they're still mostly big two, and they frankly don't give the product any of the same regard I would think somebody in one of these threads would. So. Give it proper regard my man.

>>95045644

>>95031589
Hahah, fucking /lit/. They seem to know their stuff but god damned if they're not the most pretentious, wannabe-patrician board on the chins. I went on there a coupla times 'cause I love "the classics", don't yew know, but jerking off over Pynchon and David Foster Wallace like those horrible literature students/post-grads you hear speaking FAR TOO LOUD about "Finnegan's Wake's REAL THEMES" in studentey pubs, URGHHHHHHHHH
I feel they're what /co. would become if overnight everyone exclusively started reading pretentious hipster garbage and nothing else.
And I love obscure pretentious hipster garbage.

No shit, of all the comics to give away, the first two original Hitman trades were the worst. They were printed on newsprint, right? A reminder, young 'uns--keep those comics even if you hate them. Sorry, that sounded patronising af

any Con-goers here? I'm considering taking my 7 year old niece to LBCC tomorrow, is that an ok idea? she likes the Supergirl show a lot

>>95046041
The cons I've gone to have a high number of kids in attendance and the environment's pretty friendly for them.

>>95045644
The "Blacksad is good" meme is the one which really grinds my gears. "Oh, it's competent yet supremely mediocre genre BD--"THIS IS THE BEST COMIC EVAR FUCK YOU SUMMERFAG NECK YOURSELF"
>>95046041
It's just a preference. I'm a HUGE Steve Rude fan but even his painted comic missed the mark. Oh, I can think of a good one--A Small Killing by Moore and Zarate. Almost looks like Les Fauves made a comic but didn't throw out the fundamental drawing.
I go to cons, never been to one in the US but in my experience they're child-safe environments.
