100 Bullets, Brian Azzarello / Eduardo Risso
Since school is over, gotta find alternative ways to learn something. The difficult part is that sometimes you just have to guess which book is the best, amongst the 23.457.673 thousands on the store, related to whatever it is you want to know more about.
I started with Typography by Ambrose and Harris, it was a lucky guess and I’m almost finished with it. If you are like me, who never really talked about typography (other than distinguish serif from non-serif) then this can be a good start.
In the mean while, Guerilla Art “features profiles of and interviews with the most influencial street artists including Banksy, os Gêmeos, Invader, Branstormers, WK Interact, Zevs and André” so I’m pretty sure it’s a good one!
About the comics, well… I bought Joker, because I’m a huge fan of Batman, and the guy from the comic book store told me to read 100 Bullets because Brian Azzarello is really great and so I trusted him. Also, I finished reading the Joker, so yeah, I’m convinced!
