Robin Williams was better on coke…
At least that's the way I used to remember it. These days I'm not so sure he was ever funny. I suspect the only reason we ever laughed at him was because he was so manic we were afraid he might start crying and bashing his head against the furniture and splattering blood everywhere

By the way, Quirk, I'm an American and I understood "Black Dossier." James Bond, Jerry Cornelius, George Orwell, Emma Peel, those school boys grown up to be government minstry heads whose names I can't remember now, the Dan Dare stuff… The 90% of things I already knew about only served to make me more interested in

"The Gilbert Hernandez of Japan." I LOVE that. Also it's now my mission to read "Paradise Kiss." I'd overlooked that because living in Japan during the release of the first "Nana" flick, I was immersed in a wave of Nana-mania that saw practically every woman I knew between the ages of 20 and 30 rushing out to buy

Yeah, the combo of LaMarche's voice and D'Onofrio's appearance made for a near-perfect Orson Welles. I love how he has no reaction to the spectacle of Ed Woods in drag approaching him in the bar. He just accepts it.

Say what you want, but Il Duce was the best damned hall monitor that high school ever saw. He made the nerds run on time, dammit!

I already miss 2009. Let's bring that back!

If there's no room for "Love and Rockets'" 00's output on this list, I can't see its pale imitation making the grade. Sorry.

Also, subjectively speaking (I know), "Nana" is better than "Y: The Last Man," "Bone" and "Promethea."

And I know quantity of sales isn't an indicator of quality. I mentioned that to emphasize cultural impact and relative importance to comic culture as a whole as well. "Nana" is quality stuff, the real thing. I don't usually gush over things but all it took was one volume and I was hooked. That's a writer's power

Someone else mentioned "Nana" in another comment but criticized the localization. I have to disagree. I think the localization is just fine. It's pretty close to how people of that age talk. I find it chatty and charming. I'm not sure what exactly this person expected, but hey at least "Nana" got a nod somewhere

I think that's a great point. If you take comic book reading as a whole, combining the Western with the Asian, "Nana" has had a greater impact on comic book culture than ANYTHING on this list except perhaps the "Peanuts" reprint. There are what— 200,000 or so comic book readers in the US and Canada? "Nana" has

What? No "Nana?"
Come on! I'd put the entirety of Yazawa Ai's "Nana" series on here ahead of "Promethea" or "Y: The Last Man." Nana and Hachi's romantic misadventures make absolutely addictive reading and— interestingly enough— it's one of the few comics dealing with sexual relationships that treats the sex

SpiderHitler (on a date): So, are you like into genocide and lebensraum and stuff? 'Cuz like I totally am.

That's right, he is. Then what does he need us for?

SpiderBrainHitler: Just my hands, right? Nothing about sticking other parts… say… in them? I mean, would you be okay with that scenario? 'Cuz I kinda… already… did…

Is that a complete outfit, or just a listing of items you wear individually? Because either way, you are the Fashionista Supreme!

Then I'll say it— "All of Ron Perlman's movies are bad!"

They're already back. Just like the 80s comeback jumped the gun and actually started in the late 1990s when people started getting bored with the 70s.

Only if there's a scene where the Hitler brain sparkles in the single shaft of sunlight found in the whole gloomy town.

No, no, no. Never pass up the chance to make a masturbation joke. Or a chance to masturbate.
