Western Comics

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, since there are both good and bad comics and manga and that both can come in colour or in b&w. As for there being many volumes, although western comics do change hands a lot in terms of writing/art teams as I mentioned above there were over 300 issues in the original Hellblazer run so the lengths can vary.
I was flipping through my digital collection while making dinner and I have a ton I could share (they're in .cbr format) if you guys would be interested. If you would, let me know what you'd like to see and the best way for me to share them with you and I'll gladly oblige.

Sorry to double post (that may happen in this thread so I won't apologize for it past here) but it's time for Almost Human's Western Comic Showcase!

Since many people equate Western comics with the brightly coloured, spandexclad super heroes that dominate the comic shop shelves, I wanted to start you guys out with a book that is the complete opposite of that in every way.

There are no heroes in this story, our protagonists are pretty average,gangly teens with no superpowers. There are no speeches about the power of friendship, no magical macguffinsto save the day and no "hero's journey"
And that's because this story is 100% true.

Welcome to...




For those that know who Jeffery Dahmer is, that cover reveal probably carries a bit more weight.
For those that don't; Dahmer was an American serial killer who engaged in murder, cannibalism, rape and necrophilia,killing16 young men starting in the 70's and carrying on through to the early 90's.

This is a true account told by one of his high school friends.

Now I'll start out by stating the obvious; this is not the best drawn book in the world. In fact it's pretty ugly most of the time, but for the subject matter it deals with it that actually feels appropriate to me.
It's an ugly story about an ugly man who became an ugly monster and I find the tale it tells in all it's unapologetic truths to be fascinating. The author doesn't set out to make you feel sympathy for Dahmer, or to paint things as better or worse than they were. He's simply recounting his time in high school and coming to terms with the fact that the weird kid in their group of friends could be capable of some utterly unspeakable acts.


For those interested I've uploaded the entire prologue here but be warned, it does start out with some cartoon-ish animal gore
