Which are your favourite literature writers, as in what are your literature heroes?
I’ll start
George Orwell: Nineteen Eighty Four hands down! Nobody does it better than he does when it comes to depressing literature.
William Shakespeare: Macbeth, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and King Lear. He’s not a book writer, but he writes plays. Same thing. I’ve only been reading his stuff with tragedies, so please vouch for his comedies if you’ve any of those
Richard Adams( Watership Down. book led to animated remakes of his works and more!
I’ve yet to read John Grisham’s books, Mick Foley (Tietam Brown and his autobiographies), and Will Self.
Again, whose author do you like to read from (please specify examples as I have)?
Brave New World is more about selective breeding, genetics and controlling people through prescription drugs.
1984 is more about politics and mind control through propaganda.
Both have depressing/realist endings.
I’m a big reader of comic books/graphic novels. I could make a huge list of terrific and influential writers and artists that helped evolve the medium. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Jim Shooter, Steve Ditko, John Ramita, George Perez, John Byrne, Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Neal Adams, Dave Gibbons and many more.
And while I’ve read many great stories by these creators, most of them were before my time. Whereas some of my favorite writers/artists that have kept me going back to the comic book store for 20+ years are:
Mark Waid
Alex Ross
Chris Samnee
Geoff Johns
Ivan Reis
Jason Fabok
Francis Manapul
Brian Michael Bendis
Oliver Coipel
Grant Morrison
Howard Porter
Jason Aaron
Esad Ribic
Scott Snyder
Greg Capullo
Brian K Vaughn
Dan Jurgens
Jorge Jimenez
Mark Millar
Brian Hitch
I’ve had the opportunity to meet a few of these creators at comic cons as well and they were all wonderful people.
