Alan Moore / 1963 / Advertisements / Lesbians

"Remember kids, calculators AD. We make advertisements."

With all this comic-y goodness and ComicCon coming this week (and tearing my life asunder in the same way E3 did) I thought I jump on the funny books bandwagon and give ye all a look at the ads that shipped with alan moore's sublime kitsch of 1963 which are worth hunting down in their own right.

But, Wait, Kids! There, Is, More, There's, Plenty, More.

Also Fun Home by Alison Bechdel is the best comic I have ever read, and I will devote more time to it when I am more sane and less insane or less sane and more insane. But in a nutshell, hyper ocd memoir of butch lesbian in rural Pennsylvania whose father is a closeted gay. I don't want to use the word shame, but with Jimmy Corrigan (The Smartest Boy In The World) winning the Pulizter, and also so with Maus doing the same dealy.. well, this comic is better than both. Not as epic as concentration camps or shattered 5th walled as Mr. No Frog Legs, but personal, well written, well paced, and bittersweet. Like being raped by my doctor.

It's a memoir but I found it under lesbian fiction.
