It's just that less and less people buy graphic novels here. I've seen a couple of comic/graphic novels shops disappear here in Groningen because of low sales.Sullivan McPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133432350331782496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521103169839935027.post-77845501350560208722014-05-28T10:51:05.331+02:002014-05-28T10:51:05.331+02:00i wouldn't say there is a decline;... a few re...i wouldn't say there is a decline;... a few really well loved authors/senarist etc died unfortunately and yes when someone else continue it('s rarely the same but there are a lot of other excellent one only not advertised really well ( cheaper for the publishers to promote older ones than new one)<br /><br />^^ i will add that to your list ( so you can add a longer selection ^^)mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841065155860721811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521103169839935027.post-5010244236628772962014-05-28T05:02:21.855+02:002014-05-28T05:02:21.855+02:00I read Sandman back in college too and loved it.

I am going to have to reread Sandman and give some other graphics a try!

The black/white/red of the Sin City stories are just as critical a part of the soul of the work as anything else.

That's pretty cool, that you would make up the story before you could read it.

I like comparing the way I visualised the scenes to the way the artist did. Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
