Including comic books, comic strips, serials, unpublished literature, books, fiction, non-fiction and anything else that required reading to get the story across. I would have to say that the greatest story I have ever read had got to be the entire run of Preacher by Vertigo/DC comics. I am sure many of you have read it and enjoyed it, but I think that it is a great read from the begining of the first issue, to the end of the last. Great ending. Great characters. Great side stories to break up the main story. A close runner up would be “It” by you know who. Scared the shit out of me when I read it (at age 12). I also really liked the run of “Calvin and Hobbes” where his house got robbe and he couldn’t find Hobbers for a few days. Good sense of childhood drama.
