Joey is a member of The Chicago Comic Book Meetup Group
- Member of this Meetup Group since
- November 15, 2004
- Title
- None yet.
- Introduction
- I'd like a weak 'book club' format to discuss comic books, comic art, 'graphic novels', etc. I've been reading lots of Tatsumi, Dupuy & Berberian, Gasoline Alley, Kevin Huizenga, and Little Lulu lately.
- Who are your favorite writers and artists and why?
-
Peter Bagge, Charles Burns, Jack Cole, Dan Clowes, Robert Crumb, Warren Ellis (on most days), Jack Kirby (pre-1975), Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Grant Morrison, Michel Rabagliati, Charles Schulz, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware
- What are your 3 favorite comic book characters of all time?
-
I never have been really character focused unless the character is tied to a creator. While some characters lead to much more interesting ideas and storylines than others, no character is above bad storytellers. That said - Batman, Batman, Batman.
- What is your favorite comic story of all time?
-
I'd say Fun Home, because I keep finding new things in it, though on other days I'd throw out Jimmy Corrigan, Black Hole, Binky Brown, the last two issues of Eightball or Avengers Annual #10.
- Hey there! How about telling us 3 comics or graphic novels that are really floating your boat these days.
-
Fun Home - Allison Bechdel The Push Man & Abandon the Old - Tatsumi Grant Morisson's Batman

“ How cool is Joey? He's so cool that you wish he was a compatible bone marrow donor. He isn't but he'd loan you a stack of Eightball comics if you were laid up in the hospital waiting for a donor to show up.
He may even be able to tell you stories of people who were waaaay worse off than you. He's hand you Clumsy to prove it. ”
