Michael J. Grabowski

Your topic strikes me as slightly vague this week, like there’s some missing criteria that should be used to narrow my list down from infinitely many down to five. Anyway, these are five items that at certain points in my comics-reading life I would probably have picked up regularly and re-read often, but due to accidents of timing and my changing tastes, I missed them, have never read a single issue/story aside from excerpts appearing elsewhere, and have little interest in picking up and reading now or probably ever.

Strangers in Paradise
Sandman
Angry Youth Comix
Clumsy
Blankets

*****



Shannon Smith

Bone. I've had the first color collection for a couple of years but I have not read a panel.

The next four are comics I always heard about "back in the day" but never laid eyes on because I did not grow up anywhere near a comics shop.

Cerebus
Elfquest
Next Men
Pogo

I still have not gotten around to reading a page of any of them.

*****



David Jones

Persepolis (But that will change soon, I think.)

300 (Reflects my disenchantment with the output of Frank Miller in recent years)

X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (This came out at about the same time I had had enough of Claremont's writing, and the art by Bingham, I think? was underwhelming. But a lot of people cite this GN as a great comic, so I guess I'll take their word for it.)

Cerebus (Well, I did read one issue, a Flaming Carrot crossover. Another series which is considered classic, and probably for good reason, but I just don't really care)

Warlord (Again, a lot of folks loved this long-running series, but I've always hated Mike Grell's art, and nothing about the warmed-over ERB premise sounded
interesting. His costume was ludicrous.)

*****



Stuart and Kathryn Immonen

1. 300
2. Astroboy
3. Bone
4. Elfquest
5. Persepolis

*****



Rodrigo Baeza

1. Persepolis
2. Fun Home
3. Elfquest
4. Civil War
5. Spider-Man: One More Day

2) Dykes to Watch Out For
3) New Engineering
4) Persimmon Cup
5) Ghost Stories

*****



Dan Morris

Alley Oop
Hate
Rogan Gosh
Tank Girl
Buddha

*****



Brian Moore

1. Moomin (Tove Janson)
2. Hunger Dogs (Jack Kirby)
3. Jules album series (Emile Bravo)*
4. Nextwave (Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen)
5. The Arrival (Shaun Tan)

* If you can call it reading when I would have to do it with BabelFish at my elbow. But Bravo's translated work in MOME convinces me that it would be worth the effort.

*****

Aaron White

1. Persopolis. It's on my shelf, waiting...
2. 52. It sounds like a fun thing to help make, but my interest in superheroes doesn't need to be fed on a weekly basis
3. Buck Godot. I was drawn to the Starblaze edition when I was a kid, but couldn't afford it
4. Naruto. Sounds like fun, though. A friend's daughter assures me it is the best manga of all.
5. Bondage Fairies. A realtor I knew pulled it from his shelves once he actually flipped through a copy.

5. Eno and Plum

Thanks to all that participated. Because of voluminous participant complaints even though I'm simply trying to be a nice guy, entries that don't quite answer the request as asked may be moved into the letters section at my discretion. That happened a lot this time, with a lot of great answers: they can be found here. Please check out the site next Friday for another episode.
