my boss inherited all these silver age comics from his 80-year-old cousin (RIP)
of the top 10 most valuable spider-man comics, for example, he's got seven or so
i grew up in comic book shops and i've never seen the like
it was strange because i walked into the office and stacks of these comics were all around my desk
my boss isn't the comic book type so yeah
weird
as i type this, i can just look over and see these iconic amazing tales comics

I'm currently watching and loving the fuck out of Marvel's Daredevil series on Netflix. It deals with all the same themes as Nolan's Batman films and has a similarly Noirish feel, but is superior to those films in just about every way except scale. Some slightly grating snarky dialogue and the customary wild coincidences aside, it's a fantastic show.
This year in particular I've fallen head over heels in love with the Marvel films (notwithstanding their obvious flaws), especially The Avengers, Iron Man 1 and 3, Captain America 2 (although I think part 1 is underrated) and even the previously despised Thor/Thor 2. The pick of the bunch for me has been Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2 which has in common with Daredevil a fantastic villain and is so energetic and fun, the complete antithesis of Nolan's portentous trilogy.
All of this is leading up to the question - what are the best Marvel/superhero comics (ideally in book form)? I'm interested in the old stuff as well as the new. Like any comics dilettante, I've got Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns already.
I think comics are a good thing for me to read while stoned cos I can't concentrate on prose after smoking weed, it's not visually stimulating enough to hold my attention.

i recently read The Sculptor by Scott McCloud.
i would recommend it. i don't know much about McCloud - i did read Understanding Comics decades ago. i don't know what, if anything, he's done in between.

Not sure if it's been published properly. Supposedly out last November, with the newspapers reviewing it in December, soon sold out and selling for 50 quid second hand. Have no fear, it's due for a second print run.... in September. Strange way to run a publishing business albeit not as odd as reprinting Charlies War over the course of ten years.
