You gotta read the Daniel Clowes and Adrian Tomine for sure, they are my favorites!
I've felt the same way about signing up for challenges. It's like after 20, what's one more? :) Thanks for joining! Looking forward to your reviews.
@ Alea: I'll try to get to them in that order - but who knows?
@ Laza: This is sooo true! By now, I'm close to 40 challenges and the end of my signing up for more challenges isn't even close, I'm afraid... I'm addicted, where's the Challenge-holics Anonymous at?
yeah...Buffy is no Graphic Novel...it's a Collection of single issue comics...
And you can't read Maus2 without reading Maus1, that's like reading Lord of the Rings 2 before you read the first one...
I read almost all of them, but the most impressive definitely was Ghost World, great movie too!
Anonymous, sweetie, did you ever consider that I might have read Maus 1 a looooong time ago? Because I have - right when it came out in Germany. I just never found Maus 2 as a separate book because the publisher changed the 2-book thing very fast into a 1-book issue and I didn't see the point in paying for a part I already have in perfect condition... :-)
