I've always been a fan of James O'Barr. His life story is almost like this book. From the moment Eric Draven dies in the story, i felt the same, as if it were me. The story is amazing, a once living man comes back to decide the future of those that took his life and his soon to have been wife. I think that this is the most touching story i have ever read. Also the artwork is purely amazing! Thanks to O'Barr its a bit easier living life.
