As always, thanks to Erin Schadt for the idea.
I just recently wrote nice things about Phoenix: Dawn. You can read it and say nice things about it, too, for only $14 (counting shipping) from Amazon here.
Greg recommends the Atlantis Chronicles. Well, here's an auction ending in four days that begins at about $8 (shipping included).
Of the webcomics I mentioned, Sluggy Freelance is pretty much impossible to get in print (unless you want to spend upwards of $80) and I already posted links to Fred the Clown stuff.
EDITED to note that the later editions of Sluggy Freelance (Vol. 4, 7 and 8) are available from Plan 9 Publishing here. Thanks to Brandon Hanvey for the link.
So the next one is Derek Kirk Kim's Same Difference. You can get a copy here for about $11 (shipping included).
Brandon Hanvey's The Stereos can be purchased at his website, The Geek Out.
It is funny, I mentioned how I thought Steve Niles' writing has dramatically improved, and a week later, the dude has an Eisner nomination for best writer!! Weird, eh?
In any event, you can buy his breakout hit, 30 Days of Night, for about $11 (shipping included) here.
His current coolest character is Cal McDonald. Here is one Cal McDonald trade for about $14 (shipping included), and here is another, for the same.
Enjoy!
The Cal McDonald books are good but the novels are terrific. Way better than any comics Niles has written, in my opinion.

It is equally interesting, Brad, that I did my "Helping You To Buy Good Things" at the same time you were doing an entry with a similar title.
ReplyDeleteCool Comic Coincidences are neat.
