I like the 80's marvel books and a few of the dark horse books. It's been a while since I read comics, though. Got into Full Metal Alchemist and a few of the Anime stories lately. I like to read the books and then watch the toons, to see the differences.

I actually got to meet and hang with Frank Miller on several occasions. Dark Horse comics (publisher of sin city and some other Miller works) is based here in Milwaukie, Or. In addition to that, Pegasus books (now Things From another World) was very closely tied to Dark Horse - basically like an extension of the family business - and as such various Dark horse collaborators would be at the comic shop I went to doing promotional gigs for whatever works they were pushing - pretty much all the time. I met a bunch of the guys (more than I can remember) but Frank... now there's a lasting impression.
Granted I was younger so we never talked about the workings of the universe but in between his trips to the corner bar every ten minutes he was very cordial and spouted off a bunch of nonsense as well. The man's mind works as no other I've seen - of course it wasnt just booze in his system but we dont want to start any rumors. He also signed a bunch of stuff for me.
Even still - looking back I wish I would have put my money towards a cooler car than all those damned comics - I have boxes and boxes of them and I stopped collecting like... eight or nine years ago?
OH - and TStone is right about the history of Image. We were THERE man...
