| 1. |  | Watchmen
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $32.45
Customer Review:
Watchmen is more than a long comic book. However, being a long time text reader, I am having to adjust to it. I thought you could kind of skim it like the Sunday comics, but no, you have to invest time and pay attention or you will soon be lost. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Batman: The Killing Joke
from DC Comics
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
While the art is fantastic I was a little disappointed by the brevity and lack of depth in the story. It just seemed to be over too quick and left me wanting more. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
from Wildstorm
Price: $19.79
Customer Review:
I love Alan Moore, but he does need to learn that sometimes less is more when it comes to writing prose. He does go on. And on. The more classic graphic novel parts of this collection come as a huge relief after some of the small print endlessly verbose essays, but no matter what, I got hours of... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
from Vertigo
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
So many people talk about the writing so I think is useless for me to do it (awesome). I have picked up a couple of books of the early 90's, none of them come as nearly as close as this one is well portrait, (I bought Knightfall, Zero Hour, and the return of Superman) one thing is to draw good in... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore
from DC Comics
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
While some of the stories included are not among Moore's best, this collection still represents a really good place to start when collecting his work. Obvious highlights include "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" and "For the Man Who Has Everything", "Tygers" (for Green Lantern fans), the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | V for Vendetta
from Vertigo
Customer Review:
Admittedly, I am a latecomer to the cult of Alan Moore. I was barely aware of him back in the late 80s/early 90s, and other than Killing Joke, my introduction to him was actually in the superb D.R. and Quinch series for 2000 A.D. I missed out on the original releases of his Swamp Thing run, V for... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Swamp Thing Vol. 2: Love and Death
from Vertigo
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
The second volume of Swamp Thing explores the relationship between the former man, and the human woman.
Holland has come to realise that he is no longer human at all, but rather vegetable, and an earth elemental. Why, then does he have an interest in a human woman at all, or go out of his way... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Top Ten (Book 1)
from Wildstorm
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
I wouldn't know a thing about comics without the advice of my young friend Marcus Ewert the author of 10,000 DRESSES, and he steered me into reading the adventures of Toybox and the rest of the gang of TOP 10, a fictional big city precinct very much like the world of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct, only... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Swamp Thing Vol. 3: The Curse
from Vertigo
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
John Constantine knows that he needs to build up Swamp Thing's metaphysical and magical might, to face the trials that are to come.
He faces multiple antagonists here, including some vampires that have a quite clever way to keep out of the son, and a slightly odd werewolf.

| 10. |  | Swamp Thing Vol. 5: Earth to Earth
from Vertigo
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
This volume of Swamp Thing comics takes a bit of a different turn. Abby is basically brought up on obscenity charges for a relationship with a vegetable.
I think there would be quite a few people in trouble if this is actually a crime.
Batman, of all people, intervenes in the case.
