Quote from: Barrington Boots on 05 April, 2024, 10:33:39 AMI have some huge deluxe Hellboy editions and they're absolutely glorious - massive pages for the art, look awesome on the shelf - but to read them you do need to either sit down at a big, clear table or potentially stand at a medieval style pulpit as they're far too unwieldy for reading on the sofa or in bed.
Anything that can't be read slumped on the couch is doing something wrong! Though the idea of a medival pulpit in the living room has a certain appeal!
Also I think I'm the only person in the world who didn't get on with Hellboy. I watch a YouTube video with various YouTubes selecting their fav Dark Horse titles (it was from their 35th Ann. year) and almost everyone either picked Hellboy OR said they hadn't cos they knew everyone else would!
AND only 'For the Love of Comics' picked Concrete. So full of wrong!

That Calvin & Hobbes strip is delightful.
Seriously try the free online daily strips - if you don't like it no harm. But if you enjoy them as much as I did...
