I was got into a 'debate' with a co worker who asked me if I was a reader. I told him I was a 'reader of novella's of an illustrated variety.' Graphic novels to the rest of the free world. He said that they're 'comic books.' He is 'educated' or should I say he has a masters degree. By comparing 'The Dark Knight Returns' to Superman is like comparing Alice In Wonderland to Peter Rabbit because the both have talking floppy eared mammals in em! *sigh*. The Watchmen is a political satire of 1980's America and The Cold War told though the use of superheroes. Just like Animal Farm uses animals to shine a light on modern society. However because superheroes have 'sooper powerz' that makes them beneath some people. Curiously Time magazine named it one of the 100 best novels of all time.
