Wildstorm, 2004

The League at it's best!
I loved volume 1 and volume 2 was even better. I thoroughly enjoyed the Almanac section of the book and the cool board game and other little "quips" that were added by Moore and O'Neill. There is a little more sexual content in this volume, but it doesn't detract ...

After the Kiss: The Notorious Gentlemen

Anita Loos

Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1998

Forget feminism and deep meanings - just enjoy it!
This book is on my list of all-time favorites, not because of what it may or may not say to or about society (I think if you're going to get that deep about it you're missing out), but because I've read it four or five times and it still makes me laugh out loud. I, ...
