"The Outfit", seriously good graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke, based on a Richard (Donald Westlake) Stark story. Hard boiled crime. Gloriously delineated. Recommended.

 

At 144 story pages I'm counting this as 6 comics, 24 pages per.

 

Last weekend I bought a good sized accumulation of 50's readers, so everything else is a 10 cent cover, huzzah!

 

Casper the Friendly Ghost 8

Mystery in Space 11

Jerry Lewis 53

W D C & S 112

Mystery in Space 62

Manhunt 13 (A-1 Comics 63, Frazetta!)

Tor 4 Kubert coolness

Tales of the Unexpected 40

Harvey Hits 15 Phantom, reprints from the newspaper strip, great stuff!

G. I. Tales 6

Flash 106

Strange Tales 12

Archie 38

G. I. Combat 76, painted Grandenetti cover

G. I. Combat 84, graytone!

Jimmy Olsen 47

Four Color 408 Donald Duck and the Golden Helmet, Barks!

Four Color 386 Uncle Scrooge, Only A Poor Man

Four Color 456 Uncle Scrooge, Back to the Klondike

Four Color 495 Uncle Scrooge

Zoo Funnies 9, Nyoka the Jungle Girl

The Fighting Man 1

The Marvel Family 53

 

With more lazy Sunday reading for tomorrow.

 

Gotta love the oldies, they packed a whole load of storytelling into every page.

 

 

Total for 2012: 162

KOSMIC KAT ACTIVITY BOOK - I know, WTF? don't ask

 

HELLBLAZER 146-150 Hard Time by Azzarello & Corben. I like Azzarello. He's a writer, like Mike Carey, that must be re-read because they both plan out their storylines so well and in advance that they are able to plant seeds that they refer back to 20 issues later. Foreshadowing that is so subtle it's easy to miss(especially at my reading level). But when re-read you get that,'A-ha, now I see what this means."

I also like Corben, just not when he draws a chubby J.C. It's odd, every character in the five issues looked perfectly "normal' to me in that Corben style. But J.C. always looked weird/bad. Maybe because for the previous 145 issues I've been used to seeing him depicted one way, then he starts looking like Chas(Bono).

Final update for January 2012. This has been a monster month, on par with my best months last year.

I had so many modern runs to finish and with my pull list expanding to over 40 comics a month I didn't even have time to start on the pile of back issues I wanted to read doh!

 

Fables 81 - 100

Formic Wars Silent Strike #2

Punisher Max 14 - 21

Batwoman 1 - 5

Batgirl 1 - 5

Aquaman 1 - 5

BPRD Hell on Earth Russia #5

Batman The Dark Knight #5

Catwoman #5

 

 

Fables hasn't thrilled me as much with this run as it has done in the past, once the adversary was taken hostage and the great war ended it kinda felt deflated, this new "Dark Man" is an ok villain, but pretty stereotype.

 

I gave in to peer pressure and read Batgirl, Batwoman and Aquaman as a lot of people told me I was missing out on some good reading. I'm already reading about 10 - 12 of the new DC series, so I thought it couldn't hurt. But to be honest, I'm not feeling the love for Batgirl that a lot of readers seem to due. Aquaman is pretty good, and Batwoman is "ok" (even though I have no idea who any of the protagonists are, having never read DC). But I'm not going to be picking up Batgirl and was happy that this was a "borrow" and not a "buy"

 

 

Anyway, 46 comics, for a total of 248 comics read in January (and so far in 2012).

January reading.... Uncle Scrooge 1-31

 

Very enjoyable stories. My favorites are the Flintheart Glomgold appearances (U$ 15 and 27) and the Beagle Boy stories. Also, the back-up story "The Fabulous Tycoon" from U$ 23 is a gem.
