I just posted a reply to Bill Maher's condemnation of comics fans on his last Friday's show. You can see his comments on the following YouTube video. My reply is at the following link.

I want to go beyond that reply and send him a half dozen or so examples of comics, probably in the form of graphic novels. I'm a comics fan from as early as the mid-1950s, so I have some ideas. I'd like more.
I want examples that have literary worth beyond uncomplicated good-guy-fights-bad-guy. Hand to hand. In neon-colored skin-tight costumes. With capes or in high heels!
I'm looking for works that have literary worth. In other words, they should have COMPLEX REALISTIC CHARACTERS. INTERESTING LOCATIONS. ACTION BEYOND just fights - though I'm not ruling out battles of some kind, large or small.
If you decide to do the same I suggest you do what I plan to do.

- Send them packaged so they are clearly from some legitimate vendor such as Amazon, Marvel or DC, or My Comic Shop. NOT some package wrapped in brown paper that might look as if it contained feces!
- Send them to his agent or publicist. Their info is at THIS link.
