DAL SPOTLIGHTS THREE OF HIS FAVORITE BOOKS!
DAL SAYS:
"If you’re loving Absolute Wonder Woman like I’ve been loving Absolute Wonder Woman, you owe it to yourself to check out Kelly Thompson’s breakout DC series, Birds of Prey, especially the introductory arc with art by Leonardo Romero. The character dynamics are instantly iconic – who knew we all needed a Cassandra Cain/Big Barda buddy comedy in our lives? – and the initial storyline is the best possible use of Leonardo Romero’s ability to cleanly lay out any action sequence and make it look like a million bucks: the Birds of Prey versus the Amazons… all of the Amazons. Fast-paced superhero storytelling that allows for zippy dialogue and moments of both levity and tension, this was Kelly Thompson’s calling card before her calling card."
DAL SAYS:
"An astonishingly beautiful graphic novel. Si Spurrier writes a wordless fable of a little girl and her giant protector as they cross a fantastical world, and Matias Bergara makes that journey haunting and unforgettable. Just a gorgeous book to pore over, with a deceptive narrative heft; the pictures more than make up for the lack of words. A true masterclass in visual storytelling."
DAL SAYS:
"A few years ago, I took a long train ride as part of a vacation, and literally the best part of the week-long trip – which included visiting family and spending multiple days at Walt Disney World – was reading all of Giant Days on the train. (Sorry, Mom and the Walt Disney Company.) Relentlessly funny college antics grow into character-driven explorations of friendships and life goals, while always keeping the humor at the forefront. Max Sarin’s designs are bubbly and emotive, while John Allison’s comedy chops are unmatched in comics. My comfort food comic!"
