News:
Recently, this blog has been blessed with a visit from a big name artist in the comic book industry, Sean Phillips himself! He was gracious enough to bestow this piece of wisdom upon us:
Thank you, Sean Phillips! You the man!!

I love comics. Unfortunately, like books and movies, good comics are not easy to come by. There are far too many routine superhero and fantasy stuff flooding the market.
By starting this little blog, I want to share with you some of my favorite comic books. Give them a check, they may change your opinion forever. Or not. Just remember, to each their own tastes.
By the way, if you really love comics, support the artists, buy the books.
On the other hand, if you don't have enough money, don't get caught.

The Territory by Jamie Delano and David Lloyd
Buy this book from Dark Horse
Synopsis:
Mysteriously marooned in an unnamed ocean, a man named Ishmael is rescued by pirates and sold into slavery. His past is a blank. Equipped only with courage, a talent for action heroics and the inspiration of a half-remembered love, he must flirt with the sinister tentacles of Hydracorp to win his freedom. The Territory is a land of wonder and fear; hidden in its dark heart, a haunting truth that Ishmael is driven to discover. But there are no maps to The Territory. Those who would explore it must draw their own.
Repackaged as a hardback on the back of V for Vendetta and the forthcoming Kickback, this flight of fantasy (originally published as a four-part series in 1999) was artist David Lloyd’s first collaboration with writer Jamie Delano since their celebrated 1995 Hellblazer story, The Horrorist. Like that latter title, The Territory is a nightmare tale in which reality and fantasy is inexplicably intertwined as a man suffering from amnesia wakes up in a retro-futuristic world ruled by a tentacled terror known as The Gorgon.
In narrative and visual terms it’s a stylish mix and match of early 20th century fantasy fictions such as David Lindsay’s A Voyage to Arcturus and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter, Warlord of Mars, with a bit of Raymond Chandler thrown in. The dénouement is an all too familiar cop out and the storytelling doesn’t quite strike the right note of irony, but it’s entertaining escapism nonetheless. --Source
