Well...

It's very, very hard to come up with this list. I'm gonna wait on it for a while and do posts on other stuff while working on the list.

Spumkin: I don't think John K. will be included, but there'll be a "very worthy mentions" section, with him in it. Also, I saw Maus in your library list. I've never read it, but I am a big Spiegelman fan.
