Once upon a time when I
worked for Random House, one of my job duties was to sell DC Comics. Let me
educate you about the extent of my knowledge of DC Comics: Zero. Nothing. Never
thought about them, didn’t know they existed. Jughead, sure, absolutely but I
guess I assumed that Superman and whatnot started out as television shows. I’m
not bragging, and I am certainly not looking to get slapped around, just
stating the facts. I tell you this so
you have a working sympathy for James Parker who was the graphic novel buyer at
my main account.
He was nice enough not to
act completely disgusted with me while he went through the DC catalog while I
ate a candy bar and looked at People Magazine (a variation of the truth).
Here now is James Parker’s
favorite book of 2013 so far
One of my
favorite books of 2013 is the collected edition of Rasl written and drawn by
Jeff Smith. It’s a Graphic novel about a
thief/ ex military engineer who is also an interdimensional traveler and is on
the run from someone. I happen to have
an advance copy of the book that comes out in September. Great read!
And, on a side note Jeff Smith
signed and sketched
in my copy for me! A
nice personalized sketch too!
