    The Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. No question. If you disagree with me, I will smash your head through a windshield. Then I will take your mother out to a nice seafood dinner and I will never call her back, EVER. And alan moore is british, so you crazy brits have to love him. It won the Hugo award. Anyone who has ever looked at a comic book must read this!

    Wikipedia "The Watchmen!" Do it now! What are you waiting for?!

    Edit:
    lol... my polls are funny.

    OK, it MIGHT be good with some liquor to drown the seafood taste, but wtf is the point of eating something you don't want or can't taste. Seafood is for rich pretending ppl that have no taste in food (haha, thinks of his father) Caviar? wtf is that also? you rape baby fishes outta the sea n eat them with a sauce that looks like a week old puked up salad. Naw naw, seafood? leave that shit where it belongs: FAR FROM UR MOUTH!

    What are you talking about? People can eat whatever they want, since there is nothing wrong with seafood. You're either a vegan, or a close minded idiot.

    Anyway, I'm not into comic books at all, and I hardly read books. So I am afraid I cannot exactly contribute to your topic.

    I was great, but V for Vendetta was a better. Maybe harder to appreciate.

    Sorry, Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip/graphic novel ever.

    i'd agree with you, BUT, Calvin and Hobbes isn't a graphic novel, and Watchmen isn't a comic strip. If you read some of Bill Waterson's own comments about his work, he considers his artwork strictly in the medium of comic strips, specifically, newspaper comic strips, and not anything else. I think this is mentioned in the Tenth Anniversery addition, in which he states that he's trying to maintain a tradition of newspaper comics from back in the day. He quite clearly differentiates his work from other mediums, like comic books. The simple fact of the matter is that if he wanted to go into comic books as a medium, or if he considered them the same medium, he would have easily been able to.

    you may consider that semantics, but considering the fact that he is willing to retire from his job because of his disagreements with the rules and motifs of the genre I'd say it certainly qualifies as different material.

    The first one yes. Second sucked.

    I really love how a guy can get an axe in his head, then charge against another without dying (It took some time).
