Where's that list at?

I'd say that yes, The Dark Knight Strikes Again is totally something people should read. That thing is insane. It's an audacious, glorious mess.

Well, frankly, it's very difficult to find out without buying the book. Best I could do is this: http://www.listchallenges.com/1001-c...-die-1970-2011

... which pretty arbitrarily only features comics from 1970 onwards.

I don't dislike it as much now as when I first read it, but come on - would you really recommend it as its own thing other than a caricature of Dark Knight Returns?

The full list is on the official site: http://www.paulgravett.com/1001_comics/1001_atoz/

It's an interesting list for sure. Lots of variety and lots of stuff I haven't read.

It's precisely because of the way it characterizes DKR that I would recommend it. I appreciate that it's basically a big FUCK YOU to the fans. It's punk rock.
