I've got 5 books lined up for RaGNW
my Eisner entry: The Neighborhood: Dropsie Avenue (I hope to do one every year for Eisner week)
others...
-Richard Stark's Parker Book Two: The Outfit by Darwyn Cooke
-Shuddertown by Nick Spencer and Adam Green
-The Horns of Elfland by Charles Vess
-Heartburst by Rick Veitch
we will see if I get to them all, but that's the pile I am intending on reading for the event this year.
What do y'all have in mind?
-M

LOVE Cooke's Parker adaptations. I've read the first one, and picked up the second and third last year, but haven't gotten to reading them yet, so one one them is on the list for this. -M |

I intend to spend another Read a Graphic Novel Week with Hugo Pratt. Corto Maltese: Celtic Tales ships on Feb 23, so it will be here right in time for me to go back and read the entire saga from the beginning. Time permitting, I'll also work in some Will Eisner. Got to have some love for the Godfather of the Graphic Novel format.

my Eisner entry: The Neighborhood: Dropsie Avenue (I hope to do one every year for Eisner week) I really need to read this one. Is there any overlap with A Contract With God? |

I either need to get another copy or borrow one from the library, it's one I lent out to someone and never got back, so I don't currently own a copy. -M |

I picked up the new combined edition of A Sailor's Story. So will probably wait on it until then.

What I can tell you though is that Contact, Dropise and a Life Force are often grouped together as The Contract With God trilogy, so there is some thematic overlap and all are drawn form Eisner's experiences in NYC, but I don't know if there is any iverlap with plot and/or characters. -M |

I just might add Dropsie Avenue and A Life Force to my list for the week. |

Wonder Woman: Earth One won't be out until April, so I will let fate decide which one of my old ones will be the choice.
