10 Amazing Comics You've Never Heard Of

On the face of it, you'd think that anything written by someone like Grant Morrison would be known the world over. But Grant Morrison's New Adventures Of Hitler, published in Scottish magazine Cut, caused such controversy when it appeared in the late 80s that it has rarely been in print, and hardly anyone has read it. 

As you can imagine, presenting Hitler as the lead in a comedy was not without its controversies, with Morrison even being accused of being a Nazi. Despite numerous complaints, the comic was later reprinted in Crisis, the 2000 AD spin-off.

The strip was largely based on the claims by Hitler's sister-in-law Bridget that the leader of the Nazi party lived with her family in Liverpool in the early 1910s. If the general thought of Hitler living in Liverpool wasn't weird enough, the comic often went off the deep end with Hitler's semi-successful quest for the Holy Grail, discovering Morrissey and Lennon in his closet, and convincing himself that a tram is trying to kill him.

Although the narrative often fails to impress, particularly with Morisson's tenuously-drawn parallels between Nazi Germany and the British Empire, the incredible art easily saves the day. Drawn by Steve Yeowell and coloured by Nick Abadzis, Steve Whitaker and John Buckle, the strip would have been truly visiually stunning if only 1980s printing could keep up.
