Here are some suggestions from leading hard SF author Greg Bear:
"I recommend Scott McCloud and Zot. Also an old favourite, Watchmen. I've come to appreciate a small segment of Anime, as well -- Wings of Honneamise, Kiki's Delivery Service, Laputa, and Princess Mononoke."For more info on these check out: 
Scott McCloud's site link can be found in the Creators' section to the left.
Zot has recently revived as an online strip at Comic Book Resources (see left).

In over two decades of reading science fiction & fantasy, prose or sequential art form, Scott has come to see there's an inversion of Sturgeon's Law: ten percent of everything is at least good or better. He is also a regular panelist at Canada's largest SF convention. Will Eisner is the creator of Spirit and one of the founders of the original graphic novel form. He called comics "The Sequential Art" and it is to him this column is dedicated. |
Welcome to The City. Enjoy your stay and try to survive.
From author Warren Ellis and artist Darick Robertson there's the acclaimed and multiple award-winning Transmetropolitan,
published by DC's Vertigo imprint, a decadent future that puts Blade Runner to shame is the backdrop to shocking
social satires. Author and series have earned praise from Bruce Sterling and Michael Moorcock, among other. Transmet
easily stands along side works such as Norman Spinrad's Bug Jack Barron, John Brunner's Stand On Zanzibar, and Alfred
Bester's The Demolished Man
It's just a Greenwhich Village curio shop and the owner a young confident woman, right? Appearances are just a
veneer. The truth is ancient and magical as myths today's world can no longer believe. But there are things even myths
fear. The Magic of Aria by writer Brian Holguin & artist Jay Anacleto is beautiful, and an excellent
choice for fans of urban fantasy.
