5.0 out of 5 stars a Fan of Fanboy, April 17, 2006

I enjoy the work of Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier. The witty give and take between writer and artist was showcases in Aragones's greatest comic creation Groo.

Fanboy was a short lived DC comic mini series, now in a complete graphic Novel. It is a one joke tales that expanded into six issues under the writing talents of Evanier-IT WORKS MARVELous--well i couldn't say DC-OUS could I?


In Fanboy, the graphic novel takes a common story line and makes it fun. A Walter Mitty-ishm comic book nerd acts or reacts with his favorite DC universe heroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Sgt Rock) on regards to his personal real life. It a way, the heroes are from the classic DC comic eras and not the modern day (aka 2000;s gritter) comic story lines


For those comic book fans, this is a treasure, Argones does most of the art with character assists by legends Gil Kane (doing Green Lantern),Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Bruce Timm, Mike Grell, Wendy Pini, Russ Health and many others

If you like comica and a good dose of satire of your DC heroes, you will love this..if not there is always the DC Showcase series for you!

Fanboy is fun and funny read! The life adventures of a true comic fan who sees the imaginary world but misses the real one. A fun funny book and drawn by some of the best in the business.
