1001 COMICS MINI-SITE
Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

First published: 1980

Recommendations:
Jerry’s comics pages are composed with the elegant precision of an Edward Hopper painting. Self-aware, but never self-conscious; he’s a storyteller sharing intimate memories. His sincere love and understanding of comics narrative led him to make comix pages that became central to RAW magazine. - Art Spiegelman
Being probably the most condensed, poetic effort of modern comics, this edition of Jack Survives may also be the most valuable comic art reprint of the past two decades; Moriarty’s work is as fresh, sharp and heartfelt as the day he drew it, and maybe (as is frequently the case with real art) even moreso. - Chris Ware
Other Editions:Buenaventura Press, USA, 2009
