Close enough

Nah, From Hell is
(Also >>>/co/)

>>9775336
It's good but i think either Corto Maltese,
Sandman or Miller's Daredevil get the cake.

>>9775336
That's not Devilman

>>9775345
He's right you know.

Nice taste.
But let's be real: the greatest comic ever is pic related. Nothing can even compete.

>>9775345
/co/ mostly talks abour cartoons or superhero shit. /Lit/ should discuss more graphic novels imo

>>9775349
I read the firs two Devilman volumes. I'm sorry to say I found it shitty. Does it get better?

>>9776044
I want to see the /pol/ reactions to a Maus I&II thread

Comics are bad, watch anime instead. The best anime is better than any literature, ever. /lit/ is too filled with brainlets to even begin to understand it.

I had to read it in college during our unit on the shoah in my western civ class.

>>9776052
Only if your shit taste does.

>>9776066
Ironically this

Is there a chart or list of recommended reading for comics/graphic novels? I'm interested in it but don't want to have to dig through shitty generic weeb/superhero shit.

Alan Moore's 'Saga of the Swamp Thing'.

Moore was a fucking hack, Watchmen is way better.

I respectfully disagree.

>>9776349
Well then just ignore the weeb/cape shit. I don't know of any charts, but I'll post some comics - both the ones I've read and ones that I haven't but that are highly regarded and influential.

Little Nemo in Slumberland
Krazy Kat
Prince Valiant
Tarzan (particularly Burne Hogarth's)
Mœbius' work (Incal, Blueberry etc)
Corto Maltese (start with In Siberia - if you want more realistic stories, read The Ballad of the Salt Sea, Sous le signe du Capricorne and Corto toujours un peu plus loin; the other tomes are increasingly surreal; the last tome, Mû, should be read last, but the reading order doesn't matter much otherwise)
Osamu Tezuka
Keiji Nakazawa - Barefoot Gen (influenced Spiegelman a lot)
Will Eisner - A Contract with God
Sergio Toppi - Sharaz-de
Hayao Miyazaki - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Alan Moore - Watchmen (he did a shitton of stuff but this one is indisputably his masterpiece)
Art Spiegelman - Maus (might seem boring at first glance, but it's executed masterfully)
Jiro Taniguchi's work
Chris Ware - Jimmy Corrigan
Marjane Satrapi - Persepolis
David Mazzucchielli - Asterios Polyp

There are also some highly regarded works that I find very overrated - Gaiman's Sandman, anything by Frank Miller, Charles Burns' Black Hole and Dylan Horrocks' Hicksville
You should still read them and come to your own conclusions, but I have to shove my opinions in the list somehow.

Also, Transmetropilitan is pure reddit garbage. Don't touch it with a ten foot pole.

>>9776381
I digged the first volume but the second sucked ass, should I go on with this?

>>9776501
Yes. I also disliked the second volume but the rest was worth it. The art change was jarring.
