Having now read a couple of the interviews my thoughts are
AARGH PROOFREADING PLEASE
But beyond that, I don't think he was picking his list of Comics To Make You Love Comics, he was sort of feeling out the person and then prescribing them comic that he thought they would like. Which is a good strategy.
I'm glad at least one of the interviews got onto the topic of the art style â that's what put me off comics forever, and still puts me off most of them, even ones that people insist are really good if I just read them and try to ignore the pictures. (Ignore the pictures?)
YOU HAVEN'Tââ Okay, Jean, what you need to do right now is: go to Amazon (or whatever your preferred online book dealer is), order The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects, then when it arrives in the mail, read it immediately. There is so much goodness in there it's astonishing the cover manages to stay shut.
Or, I dunno, you could go to a book store or something, but that involves leaving the house. ;)
