What's your favourite of the original Marvel Graphic Novel line, /co/?
For me it's probably Dreadstar, though I always thought the Futurians was a fun idea. Great opening too. I still haven't read Killraven, I need to get around to that some point.

This was really good.

This was also excellent.

>Graphic Novels
Isn't that just another way of saying comics?

>>149223256
Not OP, but Marvel had a line of OGNs in the 80s that was literally called the "Marvel Graphic Novel" line, which is explicitly what OP is referring to in his post.

>both GN of daredevil
>both GN of doctor strange
>dreadstar
>god loves man kills
>death of captain marvel
also i want to read the killraven GN as i like Mcgregor's writing

>>149223871
>>both GN of doctor strange

I complete forgot there was a second one. How is Into Shamballa?

is REALLY good; the choice to use semi-realistic art to show how emotional and affected stephen gets was a spot on.it also makes you reflect on life and death through the challenges the ancient one throws at him( like not even being dead stops him from testing their former student) and yeah they also brought that 'background character from the 60s that appeared once but now suddenly matters ' thing.
i know it sounds overused but in the strange series it was actually the first time they did that.

this one for me

I have a handful of these in my collection.

Spider-Man Hooky is an interesting one for the Bernie Wrightson art.

Daredevil Love and War is a classic with one of the best k\Kingpin depictions ever.

I really do enjoy the artwork in Silver Surfer Judgment Day.

And Death's Head The Body in Question was a personal grail of mine, so I will always have a fondness for it.

I haven't read my copy yet but I was very pleased to find an original copy in the wild some time ago.

>Death's Head The Body in Question

Didn't even know this existed. Might check it out later.

The Incredible Hulk and the Thing: The Big Change is a really good one. Possibly the single most underrated thing by either Jim Starlin or Bernie Wrightson.

Sam Glanzman is THE single most underrated war comic writer of all time. If you have even a passing interest in the genre then you really owe it to yourself to look into his work.

A solid contender for the best Shadow story ever published in comics. If you've ever been curious about the character, but don't know where to start, then this is a good intro. And the art is breathtaking.

Return to Big Nothing

How's Spider-Man: Spirits of the Earth? It's got Charles Vess art, so I'm curious if it's worth it.

>>149226545
Yeah, there's a handful of Marvel UK ones. Only one I've read is Night Raven: House of Cards, but it was solid.

>>149226626
Just found a copy of this today. It looks great, wonderful art.

>>149226633
Epic printed at least 3 books in this format that I know of.

This, Strange Adventures and Elektra Lives (although that is oversized even for these books).

>>149226723
>Night Raven: House of Cards

Didn't know about this either. I'll have to check that out, too.

>>149223212
It's one of the dumbest pieces of shit I've ever read.

Are the Spider-Man ones good?

Weird to think that John Byrne's fourth-wall-breaking version of She-Hulk debuted in an original graphic novel. It's basically the prototype for her later ongoing.

>>149222325 (OP)
Only read a handful but I love most of the covers of these. They really sell them as big prestige books.

What about the opposite? What's the WORST out of the Marvel Graphic Novel line?

>>149226657
It has no business being a Spider-man comics.

>>149222325 (OP)
That one. Right there. You just posted it.

>>149229096
The followup issues any good?

>>149229235
Never did get those. Saw the TP at a con once but they wanted an arm and a leg for it.

>>149228867
This was pretty dumb as I recall >>149228163

>>149227345
You haven't read much then.

>>149226586
>the single most underrated thing by either Jim Starlin or Bernie Wrightson.

Probably because it's a comedy and everybody labels Starlin as Mr. Cosmic and Bernie as Mr. Spooky
