There’s alot more books (a ton of Vertigo in particular) but the above are the tip of the iceberg. Most titles are $5.99.
Wow, that’s like the same or better than when I go to the Big B comics chain up in Canada a few times a year and get the US / Canada dollar exchange rate difference plus the fact that they already take 40% off the stuff is is wonderful, thanks Vroom.
I’m going to second that Dark Night: A True Batman Story recommendation. That book is absolutely fantastic. The Eduardo Risso art is a particular stand-out.
@Don-El You’re welcome. I hope you’ve found some good reads.
@Batwing52 I think Paul Dini’s middle name is “Asolutely Fantastic” as that describes his work to the nth degree. I’ve never disliked anything he’s written.
@Vroom, Great list good sir, I will definitely check out DN: A True Batman Story. “I new he was real!” and I have been wanting to read the b4 watchmen trades.
@Aquamon If I may, I’d recommend your first Before Watchmen read be Before Watchmen: Nite-Owl/Dr. Manhattan.
J. Michael Straczynski (The Brave and The Bold, the Grounded arc of Superman, The Odyssey arc from Wonder Woman, the Superman: Earth One Trilogy) wrote both minis, with Adam and Andy Kubert pencilling Nite Owl and Adam Hughes pencilling Dr. Manhattan (it was Hughes’ first interior artwork in years and years).
