eth 2000 fantagraphics seth s thick brush style cartooning is familiar to most serious canadian comic aficionados and nowhere does it get utilized more effectively than in clyde fans arguably the best comic book about air conditioner manufacturing ever created 8 bone by jeff smith 1991 scholastics when i just want to unwind have fun and read comics just for the hell of it bone is always among my two or three top picks smith pays as much attention to character development as he does to his carefully laid out action sequences which makes bone basically the best disney epic never made probably the best book to guarantee that your kid will love comics as much as you do 7 from hell by alan moore eddie campbell 1989 top shelf from hell is moore s version of how the jack the ripper killings could have taken place unlike most ripper stories moore s version isn t a whodunnit it s a whydunnit moore tells you within 20 pages who he thinks killed those women over a hundred years ago he then spends the next 500 pages telling us why and the why is absolutely bat shit crazy or not if you believe in the illuminati and love conspiracy theories and hate jewish people eddie campbell is the mvp here with his dense claustrophobic cross hatching being the perfect foil for moore s endless paragraphs of descriptive prose 6 asterios polyp by david mazzuchelli 2009 pantheon i was hesitant to place something so recent so high and there s no doubt that if polyp was 20 years old it would have a fair shot at taking the top spot but polyp more than holds it s own with the other books on this list and was being considered a classic almost immediately upon publication mazzuchelli is as highly regarded in the mainstream superhero world as he is in the indie world and polyp very much feels like a master reclaiming his rightful place at the top of the heap after years out of the spotlight very few comics showcase the storytelling potential of narrative art the way that this one does 5 palestine by joe sacco 1996 fantagraphics joe sacco didn t create comics journalism but with palestine he might as well have based on various visits to palestine israel that sacco took in the early 1990 s it s the documentation of the systematic destruction of a people done in a time where such a viewpoint was not only unpopular it was almost unheard of utterly polarizing to this day sacco s work takes the 100 years worth of storytelling tools comic artists have taught themselves and applies them to the most important story of all the story of us 4 love rockets by los brothers hernandez 1982 fantagraphics how do i sum up the plot of love rockets let s see it s the story a group of people mostly women mostly mexican and actually that s kind of it some of the comics are part of the palomar storyline which is the name of the fictional latin american town that these stories are set and some of them are part of the locas storyline focussing on maggie hopey two mexican american women whose destinies are often entwined and some of the comics feature characters from both and some of them are stand alone and some of them are set in the future and some of them have the characters dressed as superheroes and so on what love rockets is the single greatest arthouse movie ever done in comics form to read these characters is to love them wholly and to root for them whole heartedly 3 hellboy by mike mignola 1993 dark horse probably the entry i most fretted about i added it to the list and then took it off then added it again and so on not because of it s quality but because of it s subject matter the question is hellboy a superhero book or not the answer probably it is at the beginning of it s run at least however relatively early on in morphed from a monster of the week narrative into a vehicle for mike mignola to explore the mythology and fantastical stories that he loves though definitely more mainstream than many of the books here at the end of the list hellboy for me will always be the comic i read when i want to feel the pure joy that the medium of comics gives me like no other it s got everything action pathos and plenty of monsters all by one of the most amazing artists that comics has ever known 2 jimmy corrigan the smartest kid on earth by chris ware 2000 pantheon the first formal masterpiece of the medium that s how the new yorker described corrigan when it was first published and they weren t wrong the shadow that ware created with corrigan has loomed over comic books ever since ware uses complex design alternate storylines and flashbacks to create an intensely personal story that is extremely small in scope yet threatens to overwhelm in effect if you love comic books but haven t read corrigan yet i d argue that you don t actually love comic books yet on a personal note it s also the first comic book that ever made me cry as an adult don t worry crisis on infinite earths 7 you still get the overall win what no number one agh cliffhanger i ll post my top pick in the next day or so but feel free to tell me what you think it is or what you think it should be best non superhero comics of all time 11 20 posted on august 2 2015 by evil pants standard reply almost at the finish line interesting thing about these 10 are that almost all of them are black white 20 eightball by dan clowes 1989 fantagraphics is there a better satirist in modern comic books in these 22 issues clowes stakes his claim to that title and creates some of most important humour comics of all time while ghost world may be the most famous clowes story due to the indie film that jumpstarted scarlet johansson s career this entire run is a must read for all lovers of seriously funny well crafted comics 19 book of genesis by r crumb 2009 w w norton i m sure i ll get some grief for picking one of crumb s more recent works rather than earlier comics from his hey day as the king of 1960 s counterculture comix i chose genesis because it s the work of a master at the top of his game adapting one of the greatest stories in human history in addition those early comics while undoubtedly great and groovy are fairly inaccessible to those who didn t grow up in that generation 18 contract with god by will eisner 1978 baronet contract inexplicably gets referred to as the first graphic novel despite mountains of evidence that that s not true that doesn t negate eisner s impact on modern comics books however and contract kickstarted eisner s transition away from the guy that did the spirit into the godfather of modern autobiographical comic books 17 sandman by neil gaiman various artists 1989 vertigo now this one i know i ll get in trouble for my indie comics friends will hate that i have this so high and my more mainstream friends will criticize me for placing sandman so low but for those a certain age no comic means more than sandman it s the comic book equivalent of moby dick great expectations lord of the rings all wrapped up in one 76 issue bow and guess what it s still really great i mean really really great with sandman gaiman showed a generation of comic book lovers the limitless potential of graphic storytelling if you re finding the recent slate of mainstream comics lacking give this a shot 16 american splendour by harvey pekar various artists 1976 various publishers if will eisner was the godfather of modern autobiographic comics then pekar is it s crown prince his warts all style of storytelling could prove daunting to new readers but his writing demonstrated an honesty rarely seen in comic books even today if all you know of pekar is the movie you are really missing out 15 usagi yojimbo by stan sakai 1984 dark horse arguably the greatest work of historical fiction comics has ever seen plus it s got talking animals if that s not enough to sway you you are beyond help sakai is a cartoonist s cartoonist having mastered both character and action storytelling relatively early on in this 145 issue and still going epic 14 stray bullets by david lapham 1995 image i ve included a fairly healthy percentage of crime comics on this list but there s none better than stray bullets even a 9 year break in between issues didn t lower the quality of this crime masterpiece at all lapham is a unique creator who arguably has never gotten the acclaim he really deserves starting stray bullets up again last year went along way to cementing his place among the true masters 13 alec the years have pants by eddie campbell 2009 top shelf campbell is best known among north american audiences as the artist of alan moore s seminal from hell but he picked up the autobiographical comics baton from people like pekar eisner decades ago and this collection of his best work over the years is as fine an example of how that brilliant thought provoking that subgenre can be 12 lone wolf cub by kazuo koike goseki kojima 1970 dark horse like usagi lone wolf is the story of a disgraced samurai in feudal japan but where sakai uses talking animals to allow for greater accessibility to his work koike kojima weave a bitterly vengeful realistically dark tale add the tension of having a small child tagging along with our lead hero and you ve got yourself arguably the great action comic book ever created as well as one the mangas that even people who hate manga consider indispensable almost 50 years later and these 8700 pages still stand up as some of the great action sequences that comics has ever seen 11 thb by paul pope 1994 various publishers thb is one of the few books on this list that hasn t had a comprehensive reissue program though pope insists that collections are coming in addition each issue is extremely hard to track down and invariably expensive when found those that do commit the time money to tracking these down have a real treat in store as thb is one of those rare books that keep giving on every read ostensibly the story of a girl and her superpower bodyguard and their adventures in a futuristic colonized mars thb is really just a canvas for pope s wholly original art style and serves as a way for pope to tell pretty much any type of story he wants best non superhero comics of all time 21 30 posted on july 3 2015 by evil pants standard reply at the beginning of the year i said that 2015 would be my year to start blogging again and that i d be blogging every week what i didn t mention is that i m using the martian week which really means once every 6 months ok let s try this again we re almost done 30 pluto by naomi urasawa 2003 viz media just like people will say they don t like jazz but still have some miles davis in their collection urasawa is the manga creator of choice for white people that don t like manga although i ve liked all of the urasawa that i ve read pluto gets the nod for me for one simple reason it s the shortest it s still 8 volumes which racks up to well over a thousand pages but urasawa s other works like monster and 20th century boys take 1000 pages just to introduce the main characters a modern reimagining of astro boy pluto is that rare beast a character driven epic 29 transmetropolitan by warren ellis darick robertson 1997 helix transmet is pure unadulteread ellis for better or for worse nowhere near as tightly plotted as other ellis books like planetary or global frequency transmetropolitan stars a slightly fictionalized version of hunter s thompson struggling to report on a transhumanist science fiction future that i hope never comes ellis robertson make a perfect team here with each creator seeming to be the perfect incubator for the other s ideas 28 we3 by grant morrison frank quitely 2004 vertigo i ve said it before and i ll say it again we3 is the best comic that grant morrison has ever wrote it s not the best comic that frank quietly has ever drew since every comic frank quitely draws is the best comic that frank quietly ever drew and it s no coincidence that both the best we3 and the second best all star superman comics that morrison has produced were both drawn by the same person we3 literally has everything action pathos and cybernetic puppies 27 concrete by paul chadwick 1994 dark horse the premise behind paul chadwick s little masterpiece is simple a political speechwriter gets turned into a super powerful giant rock monster by alien beings and now he has to deal with it the elegant simplicity of the pitch is what makes it work so well and chadwick uses the sci fi backdrop as a launching pad to tell pretty much any kind of morality tale he wants as well as to use the character to warn us about things like over population ruining the environment and even just being a dick to each other 26 maus by art spiegelman 1980 pantheon i m pretty sure it s against the law to do a list and not include maus to be fair by this point it s almost impossible to really gauge how good this comic is it s the beatles of comics so much was influenced by it that s it s hard to remember comics without it but what i can do is remember what it was like for me to read it for the first time and i remember that it absolutely blew my mind i grew up in a german household where the effects of the holocaust were more than a little downplayed it wasn t nearly as bad as everyone says was a phrase often quoted so to see the other side of it to see this side that showed the absolutely devastating human cost of the holocaust literally changed the way i thought about the 20th century 25 habibi by craig thompson 2011 pantheon there was more than a little controversy about this when it came out a few years ago charges of racism sexism were plentiful when this came out and it s easy to see where they came from as the lead character is arabic and seems to spend most of the 600 pages of this book getting raped by other arabs but thompson s job on this book wasn t to create a realistic character it was to draw and write a 600 page romantic adventure epic and he did spectacularly if you are looking for an example of just what comics can accomplish from a visual storytelling perspective i can think of no better book than habibi 24 essex county by jeff lemire 2008 top shelf lemire has gone on to write a lot of shitty comic books for dc since he did essex county but when he writes pencils his own material there isn t a creator more capable of tugging at your heartstrings than jeff lemire 23 louis riel by chester brown 1999 drawn quarterly i didn t plan on putting riel essex country together but it s fitting considering that they are two of the greatest canadian comic books ever made louis riel is the story of louis riel either the greatest hero or the greatest villain my country has ever known depending on who your parents are and where you went to elementary school brown s unflinching look at arguably the most interesting character in canadian history is a must read for all canadians and all comic lovers 22 fun home by alison bechdel 2006 houghton mifflin i think i can say with confidence that this is the only book on this list that has been turned into a tony a...
