I have a new obsession.

And here's my confession.

I made a decision,

To pick up the action,

And definitely illustration,

In the wonderful world of

GRAPHIC NOVELS.

Now yeah, that's the notion.

You know what's my first grasp of this hobby? Well, yeah, maybe Marvel superheroes was a kick-start but that was like during my "toddling" days? Haha. But sure, who would forget Superman, Spiderman, and most notably, Batman(DC comics superhero btw)? But there's the real deal. After watching a not-so-long-ago movie "30 Days of Night", I checked out the graphic novel series by Steve Niles(since the movie's adapted from the first book), and guess what?

I'm hooked.

And I'm particularly obsessed with the illustrator, Ben Templesmith. He's such a genius he made me spend close to 200 bucks yesterday buying comic books by him.

What I like about Ben Templesmith's works is that he can really draw an atmosphere so well and detailed it feels like you are watching some movie. And his dark-themed drawings are very very nice.

Just finished reading Warren Ellis' "Fell" series and was absolutely excited.

I was not into crime stuff, but this series got me. Warren Ellis - man, whoever this guy is, he's a great storyteller. Nice plot. Fantastic drawings by Ben Templesmith, as usual.

And I was very excited to get this mini-series written and drawn by Ben Templesmith! It's sold out at kino but I found it at the comic shop at Bugis Junction level 3. Damn. Their comic books are so over-priced but I have no choice but to buy it since I can't find it at kino anymore and can't bother to look elsewhere yet, or probably too impatient to. 40 bucks.

I also bought his first art book collection, "Tommyrot" for 40 bucks. It's not available at kino but kino's only selling the 2nd book for 31 bucks or so! So I went to get the 2nd book at kino. It was amazing illustration.

Another series by Templesmith is "Wormwood: Gentlemen Corpse". I heard book one is sold out anywhere. So I managed to get book two at Bugis' comic shop and book three at kino. $34 and $28 respectively.

Ok, so currently I have in my collection "30 Days of Night" vol 1-4, "Fell" vol 1(issues #1-#8), "Wormwood: Gentlemen Corpse" vol 2 and 3, "Tommyrot", "Conluvio".. More to come..

And I just found out that Ben Templesmith's new series is coming out! Looks demented I know, such stuff rocks.(Ok i'm not a psycho, just happen to like such genre)

A fan wrote in a website, "I'm so excited I think I wet myself".

Ok.

Ben Templesmith.

I'm so worshipping your stuff.

Back to reading!
