review 1: Personally, I enjoyed looking through this for ideas on what to read. It is probably different from my top 1000 but that is to be expected. Btw, Alan Moore did do some great comics as did several non-american/indie creators. I enjoy mainstream comic but maybe 1/10 is really well written and drawn. It is what the title says. If you want yo find comics/ graphic novels you may not have heard of from the last 50+ years check it out at your local library.
review 2: While I did not get to study this book as long as I would have wished, I would have to say that this was among my favorite of the 1001 blah blah blah series so far. As I flipped through it, I noted a variety of interesting titles I had not heard of, some favorites, as well as a few I might find a bit ques... moretionable (which is, I feel, part of the appeal of the series). I mean, the Wizard of Id and Hagar the Horrible, but no Far Side? What gives? This being said, I was impressed by the extensive genres of comics represented, from the mid 1800s all the way to 2011 and from every continent (save Antarctica, of course). less
