There have been some great superhero comics done but superheroes are probably about a quarter of my collection. Vertigo was what got me fully invested in the medium and I have a huge interest in genre comics (e.g. scifi, crime, horrow) as well as non-genre indies/underground books.

I read a wide range of material, not just super-hero stories. Quite a lot of it out there, if you can be bothered enough to look around. ECs, 80s Indies, Vertigo, Fantagraphics, modern Image, manga, etc. Edited September 21, 2023 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
