Starman Vol 01: Sins of the Father | James Robinson

The original Starman was a World War II hero and his son David Knight couldn't wait to put on the costume and take to the skies... but on his first night of superheroics David is shot and killed.

Jack Knight wants nothing to do with his dad's legacy. Jack just wants to run his antique store and find cool collectibles, but he will take up the mantle he never wanted to avenge his brother. Another great #LesserKnownComic #FallIntoBooks

Promethea Book One | Alan Moore

This #LesserKnownComic is a #SlowBurn It starts out as a traditional superhero narrative. Sophie Bangs can take the form of Promethea, Goddess of the Imagination, like many authors, poets, and artists before her.

At the end of Volume 1 however this series jumps the rails and never looks back, becoming Moore's masterwork on creativity, magic, tarot, religion, and the Apocalypse.

This comic is why I know a crap-ton about Kabbalah. Read it!

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @vivastory I feel comfortable in saying that the 32 issues of Promethea transcend V and Watchmen and the League. You should check it out. 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @vivastory Another astonishingly great lesser-known Moore triumph is this series about a precinct of cops with superpowers

Top 10

vivastory I will definitely be checking out Promethea, especially since League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is one of my favorites of all time. I have Top 10 waiting in my graphic novel TBR. Are you going to read his novel Jerusalem? 7y

Cinfhen Sounds fascinating!! 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @vivastory I think I've made up my mind to always plan on reading Jerusalem but never actually do it. 7y

vivastory I have the 3 volume set. I will eventually 7y

Women Pilots of World War II | Jean Hascall Cole

A #lesserknowncomic , Judy Wing, from the August 1943 edition of the girls magazine Calling All Girls along with an airmail stamp I found in my grandparents things #fallintobooks

Chelsibno This is so cool! 7y

rubyslippersreads Fabulous! 7y

MKbookworm @rubyslippersreads @Chelsibno thanks. My mom got it for me for Christmas probably near 15 years ago when I was in HS. It is fascinating to look through though the pages are getting more and more delicate 7y

Take It as a Compliment | Maria Stoian

I don't know if this can be considered as a #lesserknowncomic still, since I try to rave about it every chance I get. 🤷‍♀️ #sorrynotsorry

In little stories or vignettes we are told different experiences with sexism, sexual assault and rape. It breaks my heart every time I read it, but it is a powerful and necessary book.

HippieChickHomeschool Would this be appropriate for teens? 7y

Kalalalatja @HippieChickHomeschool That's tough to answer, because it really depends on the teen. There are not really explicit depictions of the sexual assault, but it is very clear what it is going on. I don't know if this is helpful? 7y

HippieChickHomeschool That is very helpful, thanks! 7y

Nyx: Wannabe | Joe Quesada

#LesserKnownComics #LesserKnownComic Watching the trailers for The Gifted television series, I remembered this short series from the mid-2000s. It follows a group of teen mutants living in NYC, whom the X-Men never really step in and help. It's also notable for being one of the earliest titles to feature X23/Laura Kinney. #FallIntoBooks @RealLifeReading

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Great choice! I remember these. 7y

RealLifeReading Oh I've not heard of this although I have read one X23 comic before. 7y

The Hockey Saint | Howard Shapiro

Graphic Novels and comics REALLY are not my genre, but I come from a "hockey" family and thought I'd give this #LesserKnownComic a chance...it was ok, artwork was good, storyline very cliche ~ a boy encounters his hockey hero( a legend in his mind) only to discover that he's human, with plenty of flaws. This was the second installment from the Forever Friends Trilogy. @RealLifeReading #FallIntoBooks

RealLifeReading Thanks for posting about this although it's not your genre though!! 7y

pri_bibliophile I have never read a graphic novel but they do intrigue me. I might give it a try someday 7y

Cinfhen I wouldn't start with this one 😞 @pri_bibliophile ~ I've seen lots of #LitsyLove for

Saga 1

pri_bibliophile Oh thanks for letting me know! Saga 1 in goes on my tbr! 💕 7y
