Thanks, Bob!
You just reminded me - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller. I picked up a copy at a mate's and was intrigued, having stopped reading comics years earlier.

Gritty, twisted, and wonderful, it got me back into that world again. Alan Moore's Batman: The Killing Joke is good, too. I'm also sporadically wading my way through the hardback volumes of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Comics. graphic novels, call them what you will. They can be good literature.

I also like them because they've got nice pictures. Too many words confuse me at times ;-)

Yup, I've got some Frank Miller
including 300. Which I loved, but was shocked to discover is very short indeed.

Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Top 10...they're all great.

Arkham Asylum...
...is the best Batman graphic novel.

'nuff said.

*Nods*
I've been working my way through the Ultimate universe books. Through downloading initially, but buying up the Trade paperbacks and hardbasks for the ones I really like.

Also, enjoying Buffy TVS Season 8 just now too.

Andy...
You never know... I've often thought that I was the product of some bizarre genetic experiment, as opposed to a straightforward union between two people that loved each other very much...
