As a start of this page I offer you a list of my favorite comics, in no real particular order, although Sandman=my number one:
Bone
by Jeff Smith. This comic brings fantasy the way I wish I could. I love the characters, love the setting. I really regret this series is coming to the inevitable end one day soon.
(Cartoon Books)
Liberty Meadows
by Frank Cho. This is one of the comics I tend to run to my comic book store for. Wickedly funny, very lovable characters. Comedy in Comics does not go any better than this.

Moonshadow/Brooklyn Dreams/The Last One/Seekers into the Mystery
The Vertigo/Paradox comics written by JM de Matteis. These comics brought tears to my eyes. This man writes moving, brilliant tales that bring shivers up and down my spine when I think about them. Reading his work, really makes me believe that this writer has a view of spirituality similar to mine. There is a feeling of reading something of a kindred soul when I read his writing. Especially when he works together with Jon J. Muth he moves me. They complement each other perfectly.
(Vertigo, except Brooklyn Dreams (Paradox))
Daredevil (Bendis/Mack)
ie the issues written by Bendis, art by David Mack. I had a prejudice towards superhero comics. Superficial and ignorant I called them, amongst other not so nice words. I had to swallow em all. I read these issues and I was beyond moved. Beautiful story, moving art. This is what comics are all about for me. I read these books after I saw Daredevil in the cinema, and after I saw the comic talk on dvd. I will have to read the Miller run, and the Kevin Smith run now.
(Marvel)
Sock Monkey
by Tony Millionaire. I had never heard of sock monkeys until these comic books. I love the art, I love the characters, I love the wickedness hidden underneath all the sweet friendly characters. And as for sock monkeys... Now I have made two, one of them is waiting for his rightful place in the comics cupboard :)
