What is your suggestion for our 14th Group Read (February 2013)?

[Sérgio]

Hi Dora. That's a great book but unfortunately it hasn't been translated to English so most members of the group won't be able to read it.

Could you choose another book?

(If you want to choose another European book you can check out this site to see those who were translated: http://www.eurocomics.info/ )

That's right. You can choose another book Kris.

[Maureen]

Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art

It might be good for the people who haven't been into comics for a while and want to step back into them.

Oh, I see. I thought we were voting on the compiled list. I will rethink the decision. :)

[Dora]

I'm really sorry, I thought I've seen an english translation on amazon (and thanks for the link, it helped a lot). My next pick is Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth and I'll use this opportunity to second Green Arrow, Vol. 1: Quiver
