Do you really believe any of that?
Actuall...Uh... Do you really believe <i>any</i> of that?<br /><br />Actually, as I told you, Sebastian's one request in finding him a comic to read was that the <br />characters not wear their emotions so vividly (cartoonishly?) on their sleeves... A curious restriction, certainly - but, I suppose, one that had merit. <br /><br />Could you call "Different Ugliness Different Madness" pretentious? Sure. You could. But I certainly enjoyed it (you might too, if only for the Milt Caniff/Jack Kirby reminiscent linework), and now Sebastian has read (and read with care, and enjoyed) a comic book. <br /><br />I'm gonna mark that one in the win column. <br /><br />Our priorities are different, though - I want to turn folks on to comics, you want to turn folks on to Superhero comics. In this case, the former is much easier than the latter - but it may also be a big step toward achieving the latter.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289597293731183865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32302521.post-71602792063651374842006-11-28T18:22:00.000-08:002006-11-28T18:22:00.000-08:00And in my own defense (and, of course, in my own a...And in my own defense (and, of course, in my own attack on Kevin), I should point out, Kevin, that when you suggested 'My Leper Year' to Sebastian, you practically came right out and TOLD him 'you'll like this - it's wicked pretentious!'<br /><br />I submit he'd have liked anything, if he thought that was the case. If I were a good enough pitch-man, if I could somehow convince him that the ONLY thing talked about in the back-booths of the Cantab is Herb Trimpe's run on the Hulk, he'd have raced out to Comicopia and spent the $3.75 needed to procure all 112 issues.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411174345391126343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32302521.post-67647843394843526422006-11-28T18:18:00.000-08:002006-11-28T18:18:00.000-08:00Beepy!

But here goes, "Casablanca", "Enchanted April", lots and lots of Merchant Ivory type dramas and musicals. I love musicals. Girly stuff. Sophisticated story telling trumps car chases. Does that help?<br /><br />Elmo is right though. I loved the first book of New Frontier, but got lost in the second one.<br /><br />I'm excited about the idea of you recommending three comics to me. Elmo has recommended several Batman stories which I liked a lot, as well as the New Frontier. Steve recommended a Daredevil one (the blind superhero is Daredevil, right?) and I didn't so much care for that one.
