If it helps, I really liked it. Both of them are good writers.

Kate Mosse's Sepulchre. I thought Labyrith was good, and am looking forward to this, her second book.

Maus I : A Survivor's Tale : My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman
Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman
V for Vendetta, Allan Moore and David Lloyd (I already have this, but my copy is battred from a few rereadings)
Fables Vol. 1: Legends in Exile by Bill Willingham and Lan
Fables Vol. 2: Animal Farm by Bill Willingham and Mark

Got these from a tip off by a few members i respect a lot, in this forum, this is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for!, I also looked for the Preacher series of graphic novels but they hadn't even heard of this but fate was kind enough I was there at the same time the manager happen to be was visiting, and apparently it so happened that I was the only one looking for this sort of stuff, so he took pity on me and ordered the whole series, which I will be receiving shortly .

Great taste in comics

Have you read Preacher before ? I thought it was brilliant. One of the reasons i dig Ennis so much.

[AE35Unit]

Elvet you're the first person to say something positive about Kate Mosse' books. Every one so far has said her previous book was pretty bad to rubbish

No, unfortunately not, only heard of it in this forum, but I've read a lot of reviews since then and it certainly sounds like something I would enjoy a lot. I'm definitely building a huge craving for it!

Heh i havent read much of Preacher either cause my comic shop didnt get the trade i needed. I need to finish it.


Let me know what you think of Fable in the comics forum.

Im a Fable fan. Interesting idea in that series.

Just received in the mail today:

H. P. Lovecraft: A Critical Study, by Donald R. Burleson.

Though I've read it more than once before, I've never owned a copy (all the copies I'd come across had either been outrageously expensive or in very poor condition -- this one was both reasonably priced and, having looked it over now, in almost pristine conditon). One of the best general books on HPL's work, an excellent introductory volume, and with some good meaty insights (and critical readings) that even a seasoned Lovecraftian can enjoy revisiting....

I won me an omnibus copy of the Black Company from Graeme's Fantasy Book Review
