Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Jeff Kinney
Abrams Books for Young Readers
, 2007
Don't touch the cheese.
I read this book in one sitting today. It is "a novel in cartoons", it says on the cover. More specifically, it is the fictional diary of a middle school boy, with drawings. It is very funny. Several times I laughed out loud while reading it. If you want to find ...

A Different Look At Marvel Comics
I don't think that most fams look at comics in term of year-to-year ,but rather the lives of the characters. This book covers both the characters and the comics themselves. A different history/encyclopedia for Marvel fans.It had the added bonus for me of being able to ...
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes) (v. 1, 2, 3)
Bill Watterson
Andrews McMeel Publishing
, 2005
Why would I pay $100 for something I already own?
Think about it for a moment with me. I already own every Calvin and Hobbes book that has been published, so I own every one of the strips, some of them in multiples. So why would I, and many others, slap down nearly $100 for something we already own? Granted, given ...
Dilbert: 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar
Scott Adams
Andrews McMeel Publishing
, 2008
Brilliant for anyone who's ever worked in an office!
If you're new to Dilbert, he's a small guy who works in a highly bureaucratic white collar office. The comics satirize office politics beautifully. The humor is similar to the TV series The Office, but Dilbert was the original. I give the Dilbert day-to-day ...
Watchmen
Alan Moore

Fantastic Story
This is my all time favorite story. Everyone should read this before the movie comes out

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
Jeff Kinney
Amulet Books
, 2008
Rodrick sucks!
This is the second book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Our "hero" Gregory Heffley, is a year older, but no wiser or more mature. The diary format continues, although Greg would prefer the term "journal". A lot of really funny things happen in this book. If ...

Dilbert 2.0: 20 Years of Dilbert
Scott Adams
Andrews McMeel Publishing
, 2008
Showcased Genius
Given the treatment you would expect of the collected volumes of Shakespeare, this is a large slip-cased collection of Scott Adams' genius. While you do need to check the dimensions and weight, this should be a must have for any Dilbert fan. The cartoons and the ...
The Joker
Brian Azzarello
DC Comics
, 2008
An amazing portrayal of the Joker!
I was looking forward to receiving this book in the mail, and when I finally got it and read it, it was much more than I was expecting. If anyone is a fan of "The Killing Joke" or any Batman comics, then this is a must have for their shelf! By far, an amazing book!
Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
Steve Martin
Scribner
, 2008
Well Worth Reading
Steve Martin started out as a stand up comedian. Most people think of him today as a movie star, a zany comic whose performances seem spur of the moment and effortless. He confesses here in Born Standing Up that his image is far from the truth. Beginning with his ...

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Frank Miller
DC Comics
, 1997
One of the best Batman stories
Well, the title sums up my opinion on The Dark Knight Returns, though it certainly isn't the best-rounded Batman story of all time, it still leaves a significant impact on readers. The story peaks at many points, and makes large dips at others, but the ending makes up ...

Essential Goodness
And there they are on pages 76-77, the first DTWOF strips I ever saw. They were in a student run women's paper in the Fall of 1991, I had just arrived at the university and my life was about to change for the better. Therefore, it's impossible for me to be completely ...
