All Star Superman is brilliant, Frank Quitely's art combined with Morrison's writing. See also their run on New X-Men, my second favourite X-Men run after Rick Remender and Jerome Opeña's Uncanny X-Force!

I love Sendak! And the lizards! 🦎❤️

Have you watched Homelander at all? I’m about a season in. Curious what you think of the dystopian Superman.

Is that The Boys? Not really into dystopia. I prefer fiction

Do you know Jacques TARDI. May I recommend if you don’t. Remarkable illustrator / creator of French BDs (bandes dessineés). Has 'comiced' some of great noiristes: https://www.futuropolis.fr/9782754821209/l-integrale.html. Also his three-vol ‘Putain de Guerre’ (World War I through Fr. eyes). And much more, often translated.

I have not, but I will keep an eye out.

Not me on a Sunday morning looking for all of the things in the big car crash...

Scarry and Sendak were both big in my house growing up. I have to watch that doc on the latter - thanks for making me aware of it. And Really Rosie, too! Still too hot to sip chicken soup with rice.
