Joe Sacco he ain't.
Passable.
Thankfully, North Korea is such a strange place that a lack of story-telling ability is no impediment to something quite entertaining.

Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux
Paul Theroux makes me happy.
He even used a favourite newly-discovered word in shebeen towards the end of the book.
Apparently, remnants of the slang for an illegal bar for serving alcohol found their way into South Africa via Scottish sailors.
Three cheers for Scottish sailors!

The Death of Superman by Dan Jurgens
This comic book confirmed all the worst stereotypes of the genre. Absolutely freakin' terrible.
Just as the mind-numbing boredom that Monopoly inspires gives all board games a bad name, The Death of Superman does the same to graphic novels.
If only Superman had stayed dead (or, at the very least, Dan Jurgens was never allowed to write a goddamn thing again.)
I'm so glad I didn't pay for this (I read it at the Richmond Public Library on my lunch break.)
