<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I haven’t read a ‘graphic novel’ for a
number of years but a friend recently recommended “The Eternals” (Neil
Gaiman and John Romita JR). I thought the artwork looked pretty good,
threw my sensible middle aged comic apathy to the wind and bought a
copy. This is the first comic (other than back-issues of Groo) I
can remember buying in a loooooooooong time and was surprised to see a forward
by ME. </span></font></p>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I’ve not long finished it - and found to my surprise that
I really - REALLY enjoyed it – I had forgotten just how satisfying this
format can be ! In a bit of a mad spree I unsealed my Elektra Assassin
and Dark Knight Returns, some of my old 2000AD stuff and even attempted to
understand Stray Toasters again. Comics are back in my life and I have a
hunger.</span></font></p>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I have just bought Watchmen (somehow I never got around to
this one and want to read it before the film spoils it) and was wondering, whilst
I have re-gained some of my old excitement – what else is out there that
should be on my essentials list? </span></font></p>
