My kids that I'm intern-teaching this quarter had to take a county-mandated diagnostic exam last week, and naturally some of them finished more quickly than others. One girl, Noelle, was reading Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I went over and asked her how she liked them. She said they're pretty great. I asked her if she'd ever read "I Feel Sick."
She said no. I said it's about Devi, the "one who got away," and that she'd probably like it. She said she'd have to pick it up, and that she had no idea teachers read that kind of thing.
And for the first time with those kids, I felt like I'd actually made a difference.
I can't find these books anywhere. A friend of mine had one of them, my freshman year of college.
Man, this thread alone has made me want to go out and buy more books.. I read and loved all of preacher, I'm on volume 3 of Y: The Last Man and am enjoying that... and of course, with the civil war over now, I'm going to start collecting Marvel's "The Initiative" when it starts up.

Wolverine and Ghost Rider were always my favorites.
+1. Exaclty my two favorite as well. I was never that big on the X-Men, but Wolverine's Weapon X comics sold me. Tales from the Crypt, too.
Ooh, and these guys:
