Lit. Comics - Emory Widman

Jean Giraud AKA Moebius; holy shit what can one even say about this man. Moebius for the quite some time has been one of my favorite graphic novel/comic artists around, his amazing use of line to create form is something to be jealous of, and his sense of color is just beautiful. Moebius throws us into these fantastic landscapes and with no dialogue is able to progress the story just as well as anyone else could. Moebius may perhaps be one of the greatest graphic novelists of our time.

While Waking life may not have been a comic or graphic novel this was certainly a movie that had stuck with me when we had watched part of it so I ended up watching this on my own time and let me say that I was not disappointed. This movie has so much to offer, I was blown away by some of the animation, however, that actually takes a back seat in my eyes for the writing is what truly got me hooked on this movie, every second of this movie you are just waiting to hear what they'll say next, it's profoundly dream-like and every second of it is a new experience.

The Fifth Beatle was a rich captivating story which covered the incredible life of Brian Epstein-manager for the Beatles. The story is filled with rich story telling devices, utilizes its comic aspects, and encapsulates much of what a graphic novel should be. Before reading this story I had no idea who Brian Epstein was however afterwards I had found new respect for the man and cherished the legacy he left behind. In combination with having excellent art the novel has also got great design as well. This was definitely a novel I'd recommend to others and may even read again in the future
