    I quite like this one, some combination of D & D and Lord of the Rings Geekiness, but quite funny in places.

    Manga are no comics.

    Comics are made by Frenchmen or Belgians, and some Dutchmen.

    Americans and Eglishmen have made some god commics to if you ask me. V for Vendetta for example is british and it's one of the best there is, imo. Also Americans are famous for their heroe commic books. X-team, Spiderman, Fantastic Four,...
    So I can't realy agree. And I bet loads of other countries did make good commics too, but I don't really know examples. Well Except for manga...but that may not be "commic book" commic books.

    I'm a fan of the Franco-Belgian comics. But you hardly see those produced these days.
    Good examples are:
    Gaston Lagaffe
    Tintin
    Asterix
    Lucky Luke
    And even the Carl Barks drawn Disney albums

    I really like that style, as used by Franquin and Uderzo. Here in Holland we had the comic magazine Eppo (later Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, Wordt Vervolgd and SjoSji) and they had all Franco-Belgian comics. You grew up with them. For other comics you had to go to special stores.

    What's with everyone liking Asterix? We 'studied' some Asterix last year in French class, and I wasn't even slightly amused. Didn't do anything for me.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    As for the actual paper comics, I sometimes read Knights of the Dinner Table. I used to read Thieves & Kings before it got all weird and confusing.
