How to choose the best comics of all time? I set a few rules. I decided not to double up on creators or titles. Alan Moore is undoubtedly one of the greatest comic book writers of all time, but he’s only on this list once. I’m not letting my love of Batman or the X-Men overshadow many other incredible comics, either. This list spans comic book stories from the big two, independent publishers, graphic memoirs, and manga. The stories and their creators are varied and diverse. All of them have made a significant splash in comic books as a whole, influencing books that have come after them. Some are obvious choices while others are more subtle. Each one of them is one of the greatest stories you can find, with or without pictures. If you’re looking to read comics for the first time, where better to start than the greatest comics of all time? Here’s your list, though it’s certainly not exhaustive. What are your favorites?
