.The Complete Far Side 1980-1994 (2 vol set)
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Gary Larson, Steve Martin

2003-10
The Far Side by Gary Larson is such a great comic strip. This collection of The Far Side consists of two impressive volumes which are beautifully bound and printed. They are also quite heavy! Going through these books entertained me greatly. I saw some strips I don't recall ever reading. I saw some that perhaps I had read before, but since it had been so many years I was able to enjoy them as if I had read them for the first time. And there were still others that I remember from the past, and it was great to be able to relive them again. In all of those cases the comic strips were as funny as ever and I was able to really enjoy going through all of them. Some of the comics appear in color, while some appear in black and white.

.The Crass Menagerie: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Stephan Pastis

April 01, 2008
Stephan Pastis' THE CRASS MENAGERIE is a 'Pearls Before Swine' collection including all cartoons from Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata and The Sopratos. It liberally peppers color full-page strips with black and white features and it requires absolutely NO prior familiarity with the 'Pearls Before Swine' strip to prove appealing and fun. Very highly recommended for any library strong in comic strip representations.

.Fables Vol. 1: Legends in Exile
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Bill Willingham

December 01, 2002
I found this book worth checking out. The idea is that all your favorite fairy tale characters have had their homeland invaded by some evil force. All of the "fables" have had to evacuate their homelands in fear of their lives, where do they end up? Manhattan. They've even created their own community within Manhattan that they call Fabletown. This first book tells us the story of Rose Red, and her sister, Snow White. Rose Red has been murdered and Bigsby (Big Bad Wolf) is sent to investigate. Who killed Rose Red? I guess you'll have to read to find out.

.Preacher Vol. 3: Proud Americans
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Garth Ennis

October 01, 1997
I have to say, this volume is weaker than the previous two, though that might be more because it focuses on Cassidy and his origins, and as loveable as he is, what makes this series great is its meditations on God. And you need the main storyline for that. Still, loved it.

.Negima!: Magister Negi Magi, Volume 19

This volume was good since it is the start of the next story line, also it fills in a lot of the gaps that had to be left out of episode 1 of the Negima Ala Alba OVA.

.The Absolute Sandman, Vol. 1
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Neil Gaiman

November 01, 2006
First of all, I will admit that this was my first time reading the Sandman, when I got this version. I was drawn in and the $70-ish price tag is, as well as way cheaper than you'll find at book stores, a great deal. The amount of content is staggering, and even if you've read all the Sandman comics, the extras are pretty great as well.

If you're not sure if you'll enjoy the series, go out to a library and see if they have Preludes and Nocturnes, the first mini-collection, and see if this is your style. I took a plunge and just got this immediately, and it was very well worth it. Actually, I got Volumes 1 and 2, so I guess I'm really lucky I enjoyed these.

Regardless, Sandman contains some of the best fantasy stories I've ever read, and ... Read More:
