So, if you if I were to recommend to someone some of the best written and illustrated comic series of the last 40 years... you would give them a list of comics that are utter shit?
No? You'd tell them to read comics that are mediocre?
You'd give them a list of so-so comics with a few redeeming qualities?
No, you said you would recommend Watchmen and Miracleman, among others, so I assume (despite your clarification that there other comics closer to your heart) that you think these are GOOD comics.
And that's my one and only point. That dark comics exist and are possible.
Don't you think it's a little contradictory to refer to these comics as "some of the best written and illustrated comic series of the last 40 years" and, later, as "the best of a bad era"? Did you mean to say that the dark era began in the mid-60's, Wondy? I'm just trying to understand your reasoning here... because, frankly, the way your opinion shifts to accomodate whatever argument we're having at present is pretty fascinating.
