Wow, proud of myself. I was actually close. How much did you like this series? I’ve just read like 4 or 5 issues.
I just have the one book right now, but I enjoyed it.
No I don’t watch anime, I never have. I have a friend who is really into it. I made him a totoro stuffed doll for his birthday one year.
This is one of my favourite songs …
Am a big fan of Alan Moore
I have Watchmen, but I haven’t got around to reading it yet!
Mr Turtle bought me all the Sandman comics for Christmas one year since my ex got the comics in the split.
Bloody ex getting all the comics!
An Alan Moore I recommend is From Hell about Jack the Ripper. Was made into a movie which sucked but the novel is amazing. J
I’ll look out for it. Is it a graphic novel or just text?
Graphic novel in black and white.
Cool! We go to a comic / pop culture festival each year called SupaNova. I’ll look for it there this year!
I love black and white art. There’s something more intimate about it.
Edit: Wow, I glanced at the google images of that book. Looks stunning. Maybe I’ll read it one day. I like those types of stories.
Is brilliant. And his theory on who Jack the Ripper was is amazing.
What’s the pacing like? Normal for a graphic novel? I tend to prefer the fast pace of shorter comic books, but I could maybe get used to the graphic novel pace.
No this is quite a long story. You get to see who Jack the Ripper is fairly early on - the book is more about what happens to him throughout the murder spree. Is set in a bleak Victorian London.
I was looking at other art of the book’s artist, Eddie Campbell. He’s great, gets a lot of personality in his work. Versatile too it seems, though lots of black and white stuff.
There is no accounting for tastes. One persons outrage is sublime to another.
As popeye says I am what am. So I like what I like in the way of music. Music is clothes for the soul.
