comics

Here are the comics I want to get rid of, or at least the ones I think someone might want. I'm mostly just going to give the titles--if any of them interest you, let me know and I'll type in the individual issues and trade paperbacks.

Maus (Art Spiegelman), both volumes
Strangers in Paradise (Terry Moore)
The World Below (Paul Chadwick & Ron Randall)
What's New? (Phil Foglio)
Tintin: The Castafiore Emerald (Herge)
Red Rocket 7 (Mike Allred)
Geisha (Andi Watson)
The Sandman: Season of Mists (Neil Gaiman)
Saga of the Swamp Thing (Alan Moore)
Kabuki (David Mack)
A Distant Soil (Colleen Doran)
The Silver Surfer (Stan Lee & Jack Kirby)
I Feel Sick (Jhonen Vasquez)
Cerebus (Dave Sim)
Astro City (Kurt Busiek)
Bone (Jeff Smith)
Lenore (Roman Dirge)
This Modern World (Tom Tomorrow)
Understanding Comics (Scott McCloud)
Zot! (Scott McCloud)
an embarrassment of Gen 13

I also have the Clerks edition of Oni Double Feature, which appears to have been signed across the cover by two people who may have been Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, or perhaps Kirk Douglas and James Madison. Huh.

(Note: Where I've listed writers and not artists above, it's not to diminish the significance of the artist in the creative process. It's just that I'm lazy.)

If I may be so bold, I'd like

Strangers in Paradise (Terry Moore)
The World Below (Paul Chadwick & Ron Randall)
A Distant Soil (Colleen Doran)
The Silver Surfer (Stan Lee & Jack Kirby)
I Feel Sick (Jhonen Vasquez)
Astro City (Kurt Busiek)
Lenore (Roman Dirge)

Particularly Astro City (which I assume is the first collection), and Stranger in Paradise.

Never assume. Here's what I've got:

SiP: Volume 1, I Dream of You, It's a Good Life, and issues 1 and 6 of volume 3.
TWB #1.
ADS #1, #13.
TSS TPB from 1978.
IFS #1.
AC #1-2.
Lenore #2.

Let me know which things you want.

Maybe not Lenore, I'm always wary about starting anything after the beginning.

But the others sound cool.

Lenore doesn't really depend on continuity, it's just a bunch of self-contained stories about a little dead girl. On the other hand, it's kind of dumb. Might as well skip it.
