But no Carl Barks? Not that I read anthropomorphic animal comics frequently or anything, but any comic list seems incomplete without Unca Scrooge. Super influential, if under-appreciated in our time.

I was so pleased to see that Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol was so prominently on the list, as well as (early)Cerebus and Bone. I knew I didn’t have to worry about my favorite works by Moore, Miller, and Gaimen.

The only work I am sad to see didn’t make it (though I realize this is all an opinion poll-type affair) is Bob Burden’s Flaming Carrot. It is the most unique run of anything I have ever read– a breathe of fresh air. Most of the time it’s manic surrealism at its finest, but there is such a brooding, sometimes legitimately sad, undertone that people tend to overlook. Even Burden’s work on Gumby is legendary, and it’s freakin’ Gumby!

My only other comment is that I wouldn’t have included Jimmy Corrigan to the list, in whatever iteration. There are so many “graphic novels” of a serious nature nowadays (Fun Home, for example, of Blankets or David Boring) that are actually novels. It would be crazy to try to put them in the same list. Jimmy Corrigan reads that way, to me.

You talk as if you had precise empirical measurements that mathematically prove that popularity correlates negatively with quality. But… we both know you don’t. Hey, we just shared a moment, am I right?

Why the fuck couldn’t you read even as far as the second line of the introduction where it clearly says “favorite runs from an ongoing comic book series”, which finite mini-series Watchmen clearly was not?

(Actually I feel neither the aggression nor contempt the above phrasing seems to suggest, but thought perhaps mirroring the question’s vernacular might help the questioner with comprehension of the answer. Fingers crossed)
