Pictures & Words
My sister gave me a really great book for my birthday recently.
Pictures & Words
Roanne Bell and Mark Sinclair
It features some really great 'grown-up' comic art[1].
One of my favourite included artists is Jim Woodring whose psychedelic wordless comedies somehow manage to be both playful and urbane at the same time.
It features two of his best known characters, Pupshaw and Pushpaw and their encounter with a magician.
[1] In my teenage years I was a DC boy but upon recently revisiting my collection (after seeing Sin City) I found the mainstream American comics bland and lacking in subtlety.
I do have a few french-canadian and european comics that have aged substantially better.
