Just picked up The Watchmen, supposedly the greatest graphic novel of all times or whatever.
Watchmen is AWESOME ! And the trailer for the movie looks like it is going tobe F'ing epic. However, it's not the greatest graphic novel ever. That title belongs to The Dark Knight by Frank Miller, it is the ultimate Batman story. (Same title as the movie but definetly not the same story)
Watchmen is a solid #2 on that list though. Followed by Maus.
I've been told Tim O'brien's viet nam books are the best of the genre.
Also, since were discussing Viet Nam books, Stephen King had at one point considered not going to college and joining the Army thinking that there might "be a book in it" during the viet nam era.
How do you think his books would be different if he had skipped collegeand headed to the jungles. (assuming of course he lived to write about it)
