What you can about Alan Moore? Well the guy is a genius. Watchmen,The Killing Joke, V for Vendetta, the guy knows his stuff. and is even the guy who got me into Swamp Thing. Thank Alan Morre.

@_dell137 7 лет назад

I like Frank, I really do. The Dark Returns is one of my favorites in my collection, but many of his comics, at least in my opinion, have dry plots. I mean the Dark Knight Returns, for example, is good, but it seems like the plot kinda drops off after the Acts with Dent and The Mutant Leader.

Using movie clips in this takes away from the focus on the unique graphic novel medium. Alan Moore was totally against any film adaptation of his work.

I think that they should have shown way less clips but some were good. And sorry, Alan but the Watchmen movie didn't capture everything he wanted to express on paper but it was a good adaptation.

Vishwaroop Ray And doing that in a elseworld story is fine. But the films are going to be an ongoing universe, heck the JL hasn't even been formed yet and Batman has been active for 20 years. I just feel like it really limits the character, we may have had many Batman films, but we've hardly used any of his stories or villains, doing Miller's Batman seems like something you'd do for the characters finale, not something you start with.

I don;t know if this would make a top 10, but I thought "The Last Czarnian" was pretty significant for not only redefining the Lobo character but also for giving us the genre "Ultra Violent Outer Space Action Comedy". Thor The God Butcher was also a pretty damn good read. Anything by Alan Moore. Swamp Thing was my personal favorite. Anything by Neil Gaiman Anything by Frank Miller

@andypham1451 8 лет назад

I do like X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. It may not be the best for everyone and it's quite short but it's a great read. I think all of the graphic novels that are listed and mentioned are some of the best graphic novels I've read. How about you guys?

@williampressley5195 6 лет назад

Andy Pham yeah I would agree I think a few for me would have to be that are great not graphic novels will be I had to say Hellboy without Mike mignola writes those graphic novels and I would also say a few others like Wolverine by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller yeah in a few another one and I'm liking the modern-day stuff that's really but I do agree that those graphic novels are like you know they should be on this list but everyone has their opinion about what should be in what basically the greatest story of all time I'm personally like this about that I say that for Watchmen I it's a good story but for personally for me I don't really like that's the only Alan Moore work I just that's not his best work for me just for me this is my opinion

@ethannilsson9638 8 лет назад

I'm surprised Lone Wolf and Cub didn't even get a mention. It was wildly popular in Japan in the 70's, the stories and characters are extremely well developed, and every single panel is a work of art. Maybe it wasn't popular enough here in America to make the list?

@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache 8 лет назад

Most of these are either from Alan Moore or Frank Miller. I guess it helps being -crazy- eccentric. Alan Moore has more entries on this list, though, because he has the unfair advantage of being a cave-dwelling wizard.

@tomaskurjan8681 8 лет назад

There should almost be two different list for graphic novels: one for superhero/supernatural/fantasy/sci-fi and one for "slice of life" realistic/historical ones (Contract with God, Persepolis, Fun Home, Maus, Essex Co.) There's not a huge overlap in readership between the comicon-esque themed titles and the regular-novel just in graphic-novel form types. And how does Will Eisner, the grandfather of the entire medium, not get at least an honorable mention.

@BinaryDood 8 лет назад

I see this didnt include other European comics classics. Missing lots of Jodorowki's comics and other french/belgium comics which could easly make the entire list. Also, Daredevil Born Again.

@elevenseven-yq4vu 7 месяцев назад
