I was walking by the various graphic novels and that slipcase image was staring at me from across the aisle. dat line quality. I bought it in a daze of subservience to the demands of the male gaze.
Having never bought any collections of pin-uppy stuff, I have to admit that after the first hundred or so doe-eyed vixens coyly clutching their breasts I find myself sort of numb and faintly embarrassed. But really, Timm is an artist I put on the shelf right next to Cooke and a few others in the personal hall of fame. I came back to this yesterday and settled down on the couch with a snifter of cognac to savor a few pages at a time and it was much more the correct approach.
Got some floppies as well, mostly x-force 18 which I had missed, wonder woman, supergirl, animal man, and something else I'm forgetting.
sometimes I wonder what it's like over in the mirror universe where Bruce Timm made Marvel cartoons instead of DC cartoons, and DC has a thriving film franchise

Now I am imagining a world where we got Iron Man[?]: The Animated Series and the 80s Batman ends with Amanda Waller marching into the GCPD.
Edit: Would it be Waller? I don't think there's really a Nick Fury character who gets the Justice League together but I don't think I've ever read a JLA origin story.
Archaia really makes some of the best looking hardcovers in the business.
I know rite
I trust Archaia to do everything right the way I trust a record label like Profound Lore.
Started reading Tale of Sand last night: strangely surreal and lively layouts.
Er, that was unintentionally alliterative. But yeah, this is great so far.
Also there's a much more affordable Timm cheesecake softcover version as well. Some of the images are just stupidly well-done. The whole thing is a paean to chicks and the expressive power of line and texture.

"Naughty & Nice" which is a big hardcover slipcase book of Bruce Timm doing nothing but straight up cheesecake
and
"Tale of Sand" which is a screenplay written by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl, made into a comic by Ramon Perez.
I haven't even started on tale of sand, but it looks excellent and it's published by Archaia who can do no wrong: http://www.archaia.com/archaia-titles/jim-hensons-tale-of-sand/

That means I have the canonical marvel universe copy of it.
