Comics wish list

A personal and ongoing wish list started last year of comics that I would love to read and maybe own.

I have not read 95% of these, but I love a lot of these artists’ other work/ or they just seem like beautiful comics/picture books to me.

If you are in a generous position, you should check out Canada Comics Open Library’s wish list and help fill a volunteer-run community library in Toronto with beautiful comics!
