Grant Morrison
Vertigo, 1996
Almost as good as it gets.
+ A classic
+ My review of the whole series
I just read the review bad mouthing this and wanted to cancel him out by giving this 5. It's a great book, one of the most imaginative comics of all time and it's easy to grasp and understand if you pay attention. Also, try and read more than 3 issues sometime, eh?
