I did read the Quantum & Woody reboot; damn funny stuff.
No one ever mentions Archer and Armstrong another funny book which makes fun of conspricy theories.

What they did with that one was a vast improvement. It's great stuff.
Welp that's the result of the Dark Knight iii selling 440K
Really was the original bad or something

The original was good, but the new one is even better.
Sfdebris did a fantastic series of videos about how the comic book industry and the events that led to the big comic book crash in the ninties. Within your discover the highs, the lows and at times the out right dispicable behaviour of the actions of the men who changed the entire industry.

I just started on secret wars. Jesus christ what a convoluted fucking mess. I have to read this many convoluted storylines again... thanks marvel! Your events are so great and not just oversaturated cash grabs. The only cool shit happens in Greenworld so far.

I just found this while browsing /co/:
It was an Archie clone from the mid-70s that was produced (and possibly written) by legendary comics publisher Bertram Fitzgerald, and drawn by obscure Archie artist Gus Lemoine.
Here are a few sample pages, including an ad for another series that was Fitzgerald's legacy.
This is possibly the only non-Archie work he ever did before disappearing (or dying) in the late 80's.

It's so funky, you gonna say "Damn, that's funky!"
If more racebent art of comics was like this it'd be more entertaining.

The first comic I read was Watchmen when I was 17. I remember being obsessed with it for a while, to the point where I named one of my cats after Rorschach.
Overall, I don't read comics that often. And when I do, it's typically Batman stuff. I recently read The Killing Joke (Already knew the story and themes, so it didn't really do much to me) and The Long Halloween (Which I liked a lot, even though the art turned me off at first). I'll probably branch out beyond Batman eventually though.

Hate to say the first comic for me was any of the Gold Key/Whitman issues of Walt Disney's Comics & Stories.

That's no shame. After all, the Disney comics have some of the best writing of any comic book ever.
I used to have a copy of "The Golden Helmet" - and I'd give my life to be able to have it again...

I recently went back and re-read some of the things I read as a teen to see how they held up. Watchmen holds up remarkably well. Unlike a lot of what I read back then, where re-reading it was sort of "well that was good when I was dumber" there was actually more to it than I originally saw.

They do have it on sale at Amazon. Now how about that life you owe me?

My copy was a cheap comic book edition from the 70s... Now at least I can get a new one.
We definitely live in an interesting time for fans of good non-superhero comic art. I have one volume of this, for example... And about a year or so back they came out with a compilation of stories from Comix Book, Marvel's short-lived foray into underground comics, featuring art and stories from such masters as Kim Deitch and Harvey Pekar.

I guess I always feel like the sort of comics I'm into are not the ones that anyone would think about, or even care to read since they're not "edgy" enough. These were simple stories that could be enjoyed by anyone and they sold nearly in the millions.
