PaulK,
Children of the Stones, when was that screened roughly?

I didn't get to, no. I manage to get to a lecture by Scott McCloud at the Chicago Humanities Festival last year, where I found out (too late) that the lecture series included others by Art Spiegelman, Will Eisner, Neil Gaiman, and Chris Ware.
So I missed 'em all except McCloud.
Sigh.

One more...
Kill Your Boyfriend - By Grant Morrison and D'Israeli
Murderers portrayed as pop stars. A bit of a cliche since Quentin Tarantino started doing the idea to death, but at the time it came out the idea was fairly fresh.

Children of the Stones
Well I could say from my own memories that the original screening had to have been back in the '70s. From browsing the websites it looks like 1977 (one says "produced" in 1976, another has it shown in early 1977).

My favourites
Here's a few that might have been missed:
Dork Tower, by John Kovalic
- you can visit his site at Dork Tower – The Place for All Things Dork - quite literally the funniest comic I've ever encountered.
Kingdom Come - can't remember who did it, but it's definitely DC.
Nodwick - also can't remember who did it, but you can find it at Do Gooder Press - Comics, writing, and stuff at least one guy finds amusing. - very funny.
I hope we're including webcomics here. My all-time favourites are:
MegaTokyo - relax, we understand j00
Sinfest
Home - Penny Arcade
Go look at any of these - they're absolutely brilliant.

And more as they occur to me.
It also couldn't hurt anyone to buy access to the web-anthology that my girlfriend and I published last year. http://www.evolution-comics.com

On the off chance anyone will be there, my girlfriend and I are headed to the Chicago comic book convention today, and hitting the party in the hotel bar tonight. Look for a guy in olive cords and a short-sleeved black button-down.
