Sleepbringer is a bit of a rarity - a Wild West comic complete with trappers and trackers and injuns. (Can we say "injuns" now that it's generally acknowledged that "native Americans" are no more native than any other group of European settlers?! ) Anyway, fine B&W artwork with a couple of story arcs already complete and just waiting to be read ... so go read!

Thought I'd bump Sleepbringer . It's had some issues with page size in the past which has meant that some people could only see little red x's where the page was supposed to be. Everything seems resolved now, though, so there's no excuse for not adding this to your list of comics to check out!

I can't recall if I've bumped this one or not, but Counterfeit is a really wonderful read and nice to look at as well.

Found an interesting one today, style wise. The approach feels both familiar and unconventional all at once, I'm not sure how to describe it. It's sort of an inferred story that works more towards the punchline than other comics of its kind. There's some amusing character designs to be had as well.

lose, it will be fine. You pretend to be Zen. You adopt detachment, and
ironic humor, while secretly praying for a miracle."

Here's a comic I know is unnoticed: WGO

It updates very infrequently, but the guy's art gets better and better every time I see it. The latest page is amazing.

Of COURSE this one is unnoticed given that it just started posting today, but good grief. Awesome Pie a la Mode.

Check out Penn's Woods .

True North although it is for the moment on a hiatus, is a brilliant comic...

I like these but not a lot of others will?-I don't know. I fave a lot of comics by the way. I'm not including the links with these because I always seem to screw them up and the factthat it would take a while.

A Dim View
AKA Limzee
Charcole
Clogged Value
Dylan
Deadhead Zero
Francis
Function Over Fashion
Got Moxie
Hana Diaries
Happy Peelz
Japanofail
INVICTUS
Johnny
Spring Snow
Strange Haze
Switching Stripes Girl
Under the Helmet

Yeah, it's over. Some of these are have either a good story or a good art layout, etc. but not much of the rest. Others are really new. A few are by the same people but, you know.

My absolute favourite (yeah I'm Canadian, deal with it spell check) comic on drunk duck is Been Better: http://www.drunkduck.com/Been_Better/ . There's just something so indescribably fantastic about it. I love it.

Also, these two are pretty well known, but I also like Vice and Virtue (http://www.drunkduck.com/Vice_and_Virtue/ ) and Something Original (http://www.drunkduck.com/Something_Original/ ).

Flame of Earth has an awesome style and an interesting story beginning to unfold.

Jonko's Picture Diary is funny and cute.

Amya is gorgeous and stylish.

I feel I should promote my friend's comic Elemental Eye, especially since he posted my old guest strip and his version of it recently.

I'm gonna second Dystopia City as well! (Is that how this works?)

And I love the art in Soup . It's still very early in the story, but the atmosphere is pretty amazing.

There are two comics I like a lot because of the artstyle and the story, they aren't that far along but both are great.
the first is The_Millennium_House [the], the second is Inside_Ourselves [inside].

Anyone read William Feist Paranormal Investigator yet?

I think it's got great potential. Both the writing and the art are really well done!

I just found what looks to be an interesting comic. It appears that it just started, but it has potential.

It is called: OCity

It has been mentioned before. I've mentioned Sleepbringer here twice, in fact. I think it may have finished now (or be about to) but I've no idea why the Admins didn't pick up on it while it was updating. Maybe none of them like Westerns! ;-)

Anyway, to get back on track, another of my recent finds is Tara , a fantasy tale coloured entirely in soft browns and sepia tones. Since it only has one or two panels per page, the story has yet to really get going but it looks gorgeous and, even from the little story there is so far, it has enough going on to suggest real promise!

I think Coga Suro and Operator should be mentioned. They aren't exactly professional material but the story is superb. And they have a pretty good grasp on real life even if they include superheroes and robots. :)

*wipes the dust off this thread*

Here are two that I found just this weekend:

http://www.drunkduck.com/Monkeyshine/ - now, I haven't read through the whole story yet, but it looks pretty intersting, and the artwork looks great. The layouts and colors are pure eye-candy.

http://www.drunkduck.com/A_Word_Of_Wisdom/ - it's a series of splash pages, each with one character saying one simple sentence. Something smart. Something intriguing. It had me laugh, it had me ponder. Oh and the toned down color palette looks great, too.

Yes, I love colors :)
