FenrisUlf Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just wondering -- once upon a time, as I recall, DC had a lengthy list of non-superhero comics that did rather well. The various war comics aside, the only ones I can remember are Jonah Hex and Kamandi, who's apparently being brought back? Just what was Kamandi about, and, in your opinion, what were the great non-superhero titles that DC did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Re: What are/were DC's great non-superhero titles? I really miss Weird War Tales. I look for it in comic book stores every now and then, but apparently everyone that has them is hanging on to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Re: What are/were DC's great non-superhero titles? Fables is great, it is a Vertigo title Kamandi was a post appoclypse style story about the "last boy on earth", did not read much of them but I know that they were heavy on mutants (half animal/half man)...

drunkonduty Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Re: What are/were DC's great non-superhero titles? Sandman. Lucifer, at least the first few books. It got pretty awful after the Mansions of Silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Re: What are/were DC's great non-superhero titles? Sandman Mystery Theatre, by Guy Davis and Matt Wagner. I guess it was sorta-technically a superhero title since it starred the Sandman, but really it was more pulp mystery-man and detective stuff.

Plex Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Re: What are/were DC's great non-superhero titles? Sandman, Fables, Jack of Fables, Hellblazer, Books of Magic, Preacher, Shade the Changing man, V for Vendetta, Ronin (Frank Miller), Death: The High Cost of Living Go here and take your pick: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1674462 Or I can go on.

What ever happened to those kinds of comics? I've seen the Haunted Tank available as a DC Showcase collection (about 500 pages of story in B&W for roughly $17), as well as the Unknown Soldier, Enemy Ace, War that Time Forgot, and Sergeant Rock and Easy Company.
