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.)

I'm interested in Understanding Comics.

I'll take the Tom Tomorrow, and if you have the third Zot collection, I could use that too!

Huh, I'm not sure I ever had that. What I have left of Zot is The Original Zot! Book One and, uh, issue 12, including "Zot! in Dimension 10 1/2" by Matt Feazell. The Tom Tomorrow books are Greetings from This Modern World and Tune in Tomorrow.

Okay, how about the first Tom Tomorrow book and the Feazell book?

Sure thing. (It's mostly a McCloud book, there's just an extra little story by Feazell.)

The third volume of Zot seems to be really rare, and I was about to be upset I didn't have a chance to see it.

Fine. Force me to buy up all the copies and incinerate them, just to prove I'm right.
