>>25224953>are there any budding you'd consider to be balletThat's how dumb you sound
This is ironically the only one. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series is also kind of /lit/, but From Hell is more literary exposition than action.
No. Besides, Alan Moore wrote Jerusalem. Which is like if an illiterate tried to imitate Joyce.It brings to mind Paul McCartney trying his hand at classical music for it to be a complete failure.Bear in mind. I liked Marvelman as a teenager.
>>25224966The dialogue in From Hell is ridiculously dense and the art takes a backseat. It's almost a closet drama with pictures
>>25224953No. Now fuck off.

>>25225287>Junji Ito's manga adaptation of Osamu Dazai's No Longer HumanDidn't know of this oneI wonder whether an artist I used to really like could salvage somehow a novel I disliked intensely
Pretty much anything by Alan Moore.
>>25224966>>25224982Seethe.
>>25225287There's actually 2 manga versions of No Longer HumanI like the modern one better
>>25224953Pictures trigger my autism. I dont like them unless they are kept to a minimum. Like a nice meaningful coverpage, or at most 1 illustration every page of text. They distract me and I dont know where to look. and by the time I appreciate the art to a decent degree, I have lost track of the narrative. Which is weird, because I generally like visual art, shit like They Dying Gaul sculpture or Casper David Thoreau's paintings, just not as my primary means of an extended story telling.
From Hell and Swamp Thing Saga are by far Moore's best.
>>25224972What kind of Joyce does Jerusalem imitate? Presumably Ulysses?
>>25224991From Hell was kino.
>>25224978>>25224991>dialogue bubble follows the sun's arc through the sky This is still a comic/sequential art. It's not literature.
>>25225459The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was the most fun
>>25225526No, it's not, but it references and is influenced by literature 100 times more than other comic books

>>25225862James Joyce was a fan of picrel and E.E. Cummings wrote the introduction to the first collected edition
>>25224953I think speech bubbles look stupid and I can't take any comic seriously because of them
>>25224953Everything Alan Moore ever wrote, but especially Lost Girls.
>>25224972Only a small part of Jerusalem imitates Ulysses, you would know if you'd actually read it instead of getting your opinions from some booktuber.>>25225464>What kind of Joyce does Jerusalem imitate? Presumably Ulysses?Somewhat, but only one chapter, and only because it's told from the first-person perspective of Lucia Joyce. The book itself is about the neighborhood in which Alan Moore grew up, and there was a sanitarium there where Lucia was interned for a while.
>Alan MooreFunnybook men with literary pretensions never get old.
>>25226045>it can't be literature because... THERE'S PICTURES!!!!1!pipe down, brainlet
Let's not complicate things. Literature is primarily text. But, great literature isn't only text. It's a masterful integration of storytelling, style, theme, symbolism, etc that is invoked through the use of text. I will agree however that there may be comics that achieve the same masterful integration of elements as great literature. Here I argue that its more great storytelling than both being great literature.
>>25226001Joyce was also a fan of fartsDoes farting count as reading too?
>>25225016D’AWWWWW>>25224972Marvelman is great
>>25224953Mafalda and Inodoro Pereyra.Moore, Gaiman, Morrison and the like are too busy deconstructing DC to come up with something original.
>>25224966>>25225526It was written in a transitional period when Moore was moving toward becoming a novelist, so it'd make sense he'd try to make it more like a novel.
>>25226526Stephen King wrote It when he was considering directing maximum overdriveShould I go to /tv/ and ask whether there are novels they consider to be cinema?
>>25226531No, because novels and cinema aren't as adjacent as comics and books, which both count as "reading".

Just read a fucking book /co/ckguzzlers. Don’t be insecure about your picture books not being literary.

>>25226164But you do read the funny pages. They have text you have to read in sequence to understand. Farting doesn't produce words or sentences that you process visually
