Re: Introduce me to American comics?

[becka]

People have given you a bunch of good superhero recs, But there's a lot to American comics besides superheroes, so in case you're into that...

Sandman is a (modern) classic. It was written by Neil Gaiman, so it's got a lot of neat mythological and literary background.

Y: The Last Man is about what would happen if all the men on earth dropped dead all of a sudden, and it does a lot of interesting and nuanced stuff with that premise. (I haven't finished all of it though.)

Love and Rockets is an indie series that has covered a ton of ground in the last thirty years and has a ton of great female characters and a fair amount of gayness. It's mostly real world stuff, but one of its main arcs played around with sci-fi at the beginning and the other has a bunch of magical realism elements in it.

Finder is a really neat fantasy series with some fascinating world-building. It gets pretty dark in places, and it's the kind of comic with honest to goodness footnotes, so it might be up your alley.

And I think Xenozoic Tales is entirely out of print, but you can get the collected version online, and it is post-apocalyptic dinosaur scientist adventures. I just started reading it, and I'm really enjoying it.

I also read a lot of autobiographical comics, and if you want any recs there, I can keep going indefinitely. :)

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Superheroes were what inspired the whole "I should try American comics!" thing, but I'm definitely interested in stuff beyond superheroes.

My library has about a zillion copies of Sandman, so I'll be checking that out. ^^ And someone before you mentioned Finder, which looks really interesting. And you're totally right, I LOVE footnotes, like actually adore them, so now I'm really looking forward to it.

I'll also look into the others once I've made a dent in the recs I've already gotten. Thanks!
