Library had a few books for me today, so I'll be trying to get through them before my next review is due. Tonight is for Frank Miller's Daredevil series. I've never read the Daredevil books, just encountered him in other heroes' books, so I thought starting out with Miller was a good idea. I'd forgotten about Black Widow's costume in the late 70s--lol. Looks a lot like Mystique a little later.
Our library just got three volumes of GN compilations of the Miller books, so I snatched them up I got through the first volume last night--the first couple of issues in the GN were Spider-Man comics, where Miller was the inker not the writer, but as they went on his role changed and the stories get stronger. REALLY enjoying the ride so far!Story wise, Miller's DD is the only one worth reading. Ah, as for Art, well...where to start? Colan, Romita, Wally freakin Wood fa gods sake. Miller himself. Buncha killers.
Ooooo, that last one captures my interest.Currently reading:
'Have you ever seen a ghost?'...'No but...'- by Carle O'Hare. Lots of little ghost stories. Great read and totally worth the £2

Down Among the Dead Men: A Year in the Life of a Mortuary Technician
I've read a handful of books on the subject and find it fascinating. I always say that everyone should read The American Way of Death. Apparently, though, people in your line of business don't care for this book. I won't say you, but a lot apparently.Its really really cool - worth the read and a great insight into the life of a mortuary technician - something im training to become
....they have a "Revisited" edition out as well by the same authoress....I've read a handful of books on the subject and find it fascinating.

Best of luck with finals, and UTD will be a real treat for you when you are done.I paused re-reading Under the Dome because of Hell week (college term = finals). But might continue it after this week
Really interesting and makes a person think about their remains. The cost. The waste of it all....I will purchase this in the future...appreciate the reccy.....
