The Top 100 Countdown - 50-41

[@Vicshade]

This Canon book is large and is well worth it. I’ve enjoyed looking through it and being exposed to work I hadn’t encountered. Also, great cover.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking a chance on it! I love that cover, too.

I might have to make an effort to find Cages. There was definitely a European element to that art that caught my eye.

I think it's worth the effort. It's a beautiful book.

"I don't have the original issue of the journal with me...I lost it in a drunken poker game with Gary Groth's retired drug dealer" That's what I heard anyway.

I can neither confirm nor deny...

Nice video! I got that Bradleys TPB shortly after I got into Hate in the early 90s. I have vivid memories of laughing so hard that I was crying while reading it. I loved that City of Glass book and Mazzucchelli’s (and/or Karasik’s) formalistic approach and thinking “how can this be an adaptation of prose?” I should read the novels and reread the comics. I’m a big Mattotti fan too, so I’m looking forward to that new book. I really enjoyed Understanding Comics too. I no longer have the book, and it wouldn’t be on my top 100, but it is an impressive achievement and generated a lot of fun discussion. And Cages, From Hell, and Ghost World - 🤌
