Watchmen

New And Used From £9.15

Description: Has any comic been as lauded as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly only Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns but Watchmen remains the critics' favourite. Why? Because Moore is a better writer, and Watchmen a more complex and dark and literate creatio....

Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition)

New And Used From £5.92

Review: The reviews on here are pretty mixed, but I got this anyway (being a bit of a Joker fangirl) and I'm really glad I did. I've read it twice so far, and although perhaps the story is weaker than, say, The Long Halloween, the art is incredible and the Joker himself is....

Batman: Dark Knight Returns

New And Used From £5.30

Description: If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known recently for his excellent Sin City series and, previously, for his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the supreme contend....

V for Vendetta

New And Used From £7.99

Description: V for Vendetta is, like its author's later Watchmen, a landmark in comic-book writing. Alan Moore has led the field in intelligent, politically astute (if slightly paranoid), complex adult comic-book writing since the early 1980s. He began V back in 1981 and it con....

The Complete Maus

New And Used From £10.44

Review: Somewhat of a cliché to say but this book truly was what made me thing of a comic a something other than a mode of communicating with pre-pubescent children. Though the illustrations may not be spectacular the story certainly is and perhaps less simple illustratio....

Batman: Year One - Deluxe Edition

New And Used From £5.24

Review: First off: This review is only for comic book noobs, like myself! I was recommended 2 comics to start me off on the road of comic reading, The Watchmen and Batman: Year One (due to the Batman Begins film being loosely based around this book). I read Batman first a....

Batman: Arkham Asylum Anniversary Edition

New And Used From £5.29

Review: Before I start, do not buy this if you think you will be getting your run of the mill graphic novel, this is something special. I picked this up being a fan of clowns and of the joker in particular, I always know Grant (Morrison) will be writing a good story, so wh....

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

New And Used From £6.98

Description: Proving that mainstream comics could be infused with past literary/cultural ideals and still be best sellers, the America's Best Comics imprint took the dilapidated superhero genre and created three vastly entertaining hybrids with Tom Strong, Promethea and Top Ten....

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: v. 2

New And Used From £4.39

Review: I think that in his review the Kinniburgh Kid got it right. While there are times that this is very clever, even in a moral sense, there are moments when it goes over the line from subversive genius to bad taste. It has a very angry feel that the authors wanted thi....

The Boys Volume 3: Good for the Soul: Good for the Soul v. 3

New And Used From £5.50

Review: Ennis introduced us to The Boys, in a hail of violence and dark humour. In volume three we learn more about the world which The Boys exist and the political parallels to the Bush administration are more savage than satire. Butcher and his crew keep mixing it up the....
