I have six pieces of comic book art hanging on my walls. Jim Woodring's work is beautiful, surreal, wordless, and incredibly detailed. ( The Death of Speedy is widely regarded as the best Love and Rockets story it's in vol 2 of Locas, which is not included in this bundle.)īottom tier also has The Frank Book. ( Heartbreak Soup is the first volume of Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar stories Maggie the Mechanic is the first volume of Jaime Hernandez's Locas stories.) Maggie the Mechanic is great too, but for my money it's not as great as Heartbreak Soup, or as the other Locas stories that followed. The bottom tier's also got Maggie the Mechanic, which is the other Love and Rockets vol 1. You should definitely get it if you haven't read it yet it's at the first tier so it can be yours for a penny. Bone is phenomenal it's an all-ages adventure story in the classic mold, with influences from Walt Kelly to Carl Barks to Don Martin it's funny and it's gorgeously drawn. The bundle also has the first volume of Bone. Your mileage may vary, but as far as I'm concerned, the list of Greatest Comics of All Time goes Heartbreak Soup, then Maus, then that Spider-Man arc where he has to lift the rubble off him as Doc Ock's underwater base collapses. Heartbreak Soup is my all-time favorite comic. Pay more than the average and you get Heartbreak Soup. I've got a couple caveats about the presentation, which I'll get to in a minute, but it's well worth the price of admission, whatever tier you choose to donate at. It's not just a good theme, it is, in terms of quality content for your money, the single best collection of comics I have ever seen. In honor of Banned Books Week, the latest Humble Books Bundle is made up of banned and challenged comic books. Categories: Comics, Stream of Consciousness, Tech
