Well, actually I was asking because someone told me that in the US comics
was for "X-rated graphical novels" (hum) and comic was the proper term for the
european equivalent of "bande dessinnee". But still I was seeing "comics"
everywhere, so I was wondering what was the truth behind that.

I've read Mage and Books of Magic (the Gaiman part, that really kicks ass).
I've also read Watchmen (my favourite one till now) and a few other minor
stuff. These comics really have the same feeling as european Bande Dessinee,
so I usually like them better than the Marvel/DC comics stuff with supers.
I enjoyed work by Miller, though, such as Dark Knight Returns or the early
Daredevil stuff.

I'm reading Sandman, and plan to check on Hellblazer, Preacher and the Green
Lantern stuff. 100 bullets also seem interesting.

Where can I find that? I'm an Amber series fan.

Cheers,
