Disgusted with modern comic books....

<< < (5/5)

garbanzo:
One good thing I can say about modern comics is that there have been a LOT of wonderful reprints available in recent years. Dark Horse, Fantagraphics, and IDW/Yoe in particular have been churning out book after book. Some aren't great quality, but others, like the black and white EC collections, are just gorgeous.

As for original content, there are some hidden gems. There's a black and white horror mag called The Creeps that imitates old Warren mags to great effect, and is well worth checking out if you enjoyed the old Creepy and Eerie books.

Here's one of my favorite recent series. It's a black and white horror series that doesn't take itself seriously - to the point of almost being farcical, but not quite. Sexy, violent, funny, and just plain good.

Thanks GB, I'd never heard of that last title.  I'll look for it.
