Pick one.

I would disagree with the watchmen. The comic was filled with preach preach preach preach.

Couldn't hurt to be a little more subtle

Building Stories and Rusty Brown, they're by the same dude

You can find them in Acme Novelty Library issues 16-19

The second through fifth books of Cerebus. The 13th and 14th if you want to read a schizophrenic pontificating and analyzing Fitzgerald and Hemingway in a way that puts to shame most authors actually trying for metafiction.

On the topic of good mangoes to read, most anything by Ito Junji(Uzumaki, Gyo, Frankenstein) is worth a read.

>> No.532627

Lucifer. It's better than Sandman, Watchmen, Hellblazer, Preacher, V, Maus, and anything else out there. It's got the single most interesting character I have encountered in any type of literature, is well-drawn and well-written, with the most epic fucking plot ever.
