To get a really solid grounding in the medium, I think he should read Watchmen, and if he likes it, From Hell.
:lol: He's like 5

Actually, almost 8 (he'll be 8 in December). Time flies!  :cry:

When my nephew started getting interested in this stuff, I got him the trade paperbacks of Batman. About 15 bucks.

My kid is starting to get into comic books.

So far, his favorite are Asterix and Bone (he found the first volume of Bone in his school class library and begged me to buy him the other eight).

If he likes Asterix, check if there's an English translation of Les Tuniques Bleus about the American Civil War. Those two were the comics that got me interested in history.

Heh, I'll look into it. Do you remember the authour's name?

Raoul Cauvin. First few albums drawn by Salvérius, later ones by Lambil.

Also, in English it appears to be called The Bluecoats, and only a few books have been translated.

If you've played the old North & South game on Amiga, C64 or NES, then the style should be familiar:

I thought I was one of the only people who knew of that game!  My cousin and I used to play it every holiday when he would come to my parents.  It was a blast.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Carl loves the Bluecoats. Got him the first one, he re-reads it a lot.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
