(6) AHRI - LEAGUE OF LEGENDS (2011)
Art by @Artgerm and cosplay by Kalinka Fox
(13) GARTH ENNIS - THE BOYS
Diabolical!
Now a TV series on Amazon Prime
(6) GARY LARSON - THE FAR SIDE
Classic single-panel captioned comic by Gary Larson about cows, animals, nature, cavemen and other recurring gags or themes, including that recurring nerdy kid - apparently drawn from a real kid
(5) SCOTT ADAMS - DILBERT
At its prime, Dilbert ranks in my god-tier of comic strips, rivaled only by Calvin & Hobbes but an entirely different cynical beast from the former - reflected in the Machiavellian genius of Dilbert as opposed to the joyous imagination of Hobbes
(4) BILL WATTERSON -
CALVIN & HOBBES
Goddamn I love that tiger!
"One of the most (maybe the most) beloved newspaper comics of all time, that influenced, changed and thrilled an entire generation, all drawn and written by one man — Bill Watterson"
