    The Right to the Blues. 0

    This is one of the best examples of indie comic culture at its best.  There are some big names then that are still big names, suc has Stan Sakai, Sam Kieth, Ty Templeton and Alan Moore. Many of the best Superhero writers worked on indie comics because comics as a medium is an art form.  Like any art form, those who understand it best have more to bring in creating the art.  This anthology of stories is a smorgasbord of great comics.  I highly recommend this if you can find it.   Usagi Yojimbo ...
