Hard to believe this masterpiece of comics/graphic novels just turned 30! This one along with Heavy Metal Magazine, Watchmen, Swamp Thing, Akira, The Sandman etc. proved comics weren't just kids stuff as it was aimed at mature readers. It had nice artwork done in a ralph Steadman kind of way and good storytelling, not to mention it was a satire on the culture of the time and became a smash hit comic among the masses even critical acclaim. This influenced many films especially Robocop, i read it when it first came out when i was 4/5 as it showed me the world wasn't all sugar coated even in comics and inspired me to a comic fan then i sold my old issues when i was 13 to get the graphic novel version. One of my all time fave GNs.
