David B's Epileptic is amazing, and definitely worth your time if you haven't gotten around to it yet.

Serif font, lines squished together. I usually don't bother reading them because it hurts my brain.

Just sayin'.

It's a great method for learning.

I have found that downloading pornographic picto-fiction in a foreign language can be one of the most entertaining and enlightening methods of instruction. One learns the dirty words. One develops a mastery of the imperative (pinch it! pull it!), the interrogative (how do you like that, bitch?), demonstrative pronouns (that's it! there it is! those are huge! this is hot!) etc.

I only read bandes desinees, because everyone knows comics are for the cretins.
