LOL at "smaller haul". And yes, definitely: Schuiten is indeed excellent. Even if the stories don't do it for you (though I think they're great as well), you can still marvel for hours on end at the artwork. There's no one else like him.
Btw, I'm soooo knackered. Finally moved the last of my comics to our new place and spent the whole day setting up and organizing my comics room. Well worth it, but didn't expect it to take that long.
