Nick Dragotta in The Stacks at Third Eye Comics

Nick Dragotta, the artist of Absolute Batman and East of West, steps into the Stacks at Third Eye Comics.

It's time to go big. Nick Dragotta (Absolute Batman, East of West) picks his favorite comic books from The Stacks at Third Eye Comics in Annapolis, Maryland. He kicks things off by paying homage to a master, Alex Toth. From there, he names his choice for the greatest Dark Knight comic of all time, Batman: Year One. And, of course, Dragotta celebrates the titanic manga that is Berserk.

If you demand a full list of his picks, here they are, full spoilers: Genius Illustrated: The Life and Art of Alex Toth, Batman: Year One, Grendel: Devils and Deaths, Banana Sioule, Berserk, and Tokyo These Days.
