Unofficial Tex Murphy

I rarely bid for stuff on eBay anymore, and even more rarely I feel the need to brag about my wins.

This is one of those rare exceptions!

I just won Hitman (the comic book series) issues #29-#60 (who are not collected in trade paperback albums and therefore not available in Norway) and I am about to read through that entire bunch of goodness!

For those of you who've not read it, it's about the funniest ever super-powered person to hit Gotham City - Tommy Monaghan, a hitman with x-ray vision and telepathy Written by Garth Ennis (of Preacher fame) and drawn by John McCrea.

I'll catch yous on the other side!

ps: Through judicious use of black magic (namely by inverting Murphy's Law to work back on myself!) I've just ensured the rest of Hitman to be collected in TPBs

Or is that white magic? I dunno...

TPB's? I googled it and got a whole bunch of weird pages. And a link to the Tianjin People's Broadcasting Station. I don't think it's either. And wouldn't Garth Ennis be better known for the Punisher? Never heard of the Preacher.

Trade Paperbacks. Or collected albums, if you will.

Preacher was probably one of the comics of the 90's, it was really dark and controversial (Still is! HBO cancelled the production of a series based off of it because the new HBO bossman said it was exactly that.) and kind of made Ennis the famous and respected author he is today. The reason he got Punisher over at Marvel was because of Preacher.

You should read it. I definitely cannot endorse that particular comicbook enough!

...Jen probably knows what I'm talking about.

Don't forget Constantine and Hellblazer, as well as Sandman.

Also classic Vertigo comics. =)

And Transmetropolitan!
