So yeah, bought Watchmen, From Hell, and V for Vendetta and looking for similar/horror-oriented novels.
30 Days of Night any good?
And no Frank Miller comics, please.
Why no Frank Miller? Just curious since The Dark Knight Returns is among the greatest graphic novels of all time.
Get some of the best stories written by H.P. Lovecraft. Mountains of Madness, The Dunwich Horror, The Call of Cthulhu, Shadow over Innsmouth, Colour out of Space, Dagon... I could go on and on... You should actually be able to find these free online, as they are old enough to be free now. Ah, yes. Here they are.
Damn, I so want a proper movie adaption of Mountains of Madness. So good.
@jaqen: Ooh Lovecraft, where to start though?
And just so I can feel like I've contributed something, I will also suggest another comic: David Boring
It's a pretty out-there noirish gaphic novel with excellent artwork. The author has apparently described it as: "It's like Fassbinder meets half-baked Nabokov on Gilligan's Island." So yeah...
30 days of night is , well , ok-ish , I have it and is a short comic and the artwork is not the greatest , I would actually recommend the sandman with yoshitaka amano´s illustrations (tho I dont know if its sold digitally , much less on kindles). I havent read much of Miller´s stuff outside SinCity ... Sincity is good. Oh yeah get Kabuki: Metamorphosis for a really unique comic book/ graphic novel. (again my knowledge of it bein digitally sold is null)
American Vampire by Scott Snyder is fantastic. Also recommending probably posting this question on Comic Vine's forums might get more responses then here.
dunno if these are available: Maus, Killing Joke, Dark Knight Returns, Kill Shakspeare are some of the books I've been reading. Also Chew and American Vampire.
