Graphic Novels of late 20th Century



A panel from Sandman.

Between the revival of leggings and renewed popularity of 80s and 90s kitsch, you might be inclined to flee as soon as you hear a mention of either decade. Flee not, because when it comes to comics, some of the very best British graphic novels were produced during those very decades, including Alan Moore's infamous Watchmen to Neil Gaiman's much-loved and widely read Sandman series. Sure, sometimes the gorgeous illustrations look dated (a friend of mine recently said of Sandman: "1994 called and said it wants 1994 back"), but the masterful stories and exciting art make it easy to look past these obvious flaws.
