I still have my original copy of X-Men 137, as that's THE comic that made me decide they were a worthwhile thing.  Of course, it was before I found out that death in comics is hardly a permanent thing, but still, very sad and touching story.  Wolverine in the Watcher's house still stands out as a pretty epic sequence,…

I still pull those out from time-to-time and read them again.  It's funny to me how they're not that old (in comic years) but the tone is so much different from comics of today.  For thier time they were dark, but man they're a ray of sunshine compared to the X-books now.  Also, thought bubbles!

Top Ten is my next favorite by him after Watchmen—all three volumes are really spectacular, and the bit about the crossover wars with the mice and cats in volume 2 still makes me laugh out loud.

"Love's Labour Lost" is an hour of television I will never, ever forget, and will never, ever watch again.  It's almost too well-done, and it definitely affects me way too much.  I don't know if it's the best episode of anything I've ever seen, but it's certainly in the top ten.

Brrr.  Lousy Smarch weather.  Hmmm…"Do not touch Willie."  Good advice!

That's funny as my very first thought was Watchmen (the original mini-series)—I'd love to know how much of Gibbons art was scripted, how much input he had, which ideas were his and which evolved from the two of them working together, what ideas did they have that they scrapped, etc.  It's so in-depth that I'd be…
