This is a game I remember from David Lodge's 'Changing Places'. The rules are simple; you get points for naming a famous book which you haven't read. If any body else has also not read it, you get the top score for that round.  In the book a competetive academic won by admitting that he'd never read Hamlet.  So I thought it'd be fun to play the comics version.

I haven't read.....deep breath.....Dark Knight Returns

I, Cosh

I've read that, but not V For Vendetta.
We never really die.

Dark Jimbo

I'll see both of those (neither of which I've read) and raise you Watchmen.

(Oh god, I actually feel dirty admitting it.)

Tex Hex



Well I started reading Dark knight returns and gave up! Simply didnt enjoy it.

How about Palestine and American Splendour...

Bico

Palestine, Maus, and for the life of me, I can't recall reading any of Judge Dredd in Oz.  Any of it at all.

GeorgeBernardShaw

I've read V and Watchmen, so points to Cosh, Tex Hex and Jimbo.  I haven't read Palestine either, so one less to scutfink.
 Oh I've read one of the Maus books - and Oz

yours thinking there must be some other canonical stuff he hasn't read

davidbishop

Nemesis the Warlock.

Stainless Steel Rat.

Ant Wars.

Rob Spalding

Nemesis the Warlock

That must be a lie Bish, surely?  You must have read some


Maus for me.
And American Splendour.
Any Wonder Woman, ever.

Floyd-the-k

I haven't read ALL of Nemesis, but has anyone?
 Certainly haven't read any American Splendour or Wonder Woman

Megadeth

I haven't read 'V for Vendetta', 'Palestine', 'American Splendour', 'Nemesis', 'SSR' or any 'Wonder Woman'

But on top of that I can raise you my greatest shame... I haven't read 'The Apocalypse War' despite having the Titan collection on my shelf for over a year!!!

I've read Book Ten, but I was editor at the time. Books I-IX? Not so much.

Indeed, most non-Dredd strips before Prog 500 are new to me.

The Amstor Computer

I think the only one so far I haven't read is Wonder Woman; the rest I've read at least once.

I've never read:

100 Bullets
Captain Britain
Bone
Starman
Bacchus
Concrete
Stray Bullets

House of Usher

So far, I've not read:

100 Bullets, Captain Britain, Bone, Starman (except a rubbish Batman team-up drawn by Mike Mignola), Stray Bullets...

...and Y The Last Man, We3, Lone Wolf and Cub, any Manga apart from Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, Powers, Top Ten, 300, Sin City not reprinted in the Megazine; the list probably goes on.
STRIKE !!!

The Amstor Computer

Read We3, Lone Wolf, loads of manga - including Nausicaa, Top Ten and Sin City, but I haven't read Powers, 300 or Y The Last Man.
