The CGS Top 100 Trades List

A list of the top 100 trade paperbacks as compiled by the creators of the podcast Comic Geek Speak (CGS). Listeners were asked to submit their own lists of up to 100 book-bound comics (trade paperbacks and original graphic novels); over 1000 different publications were nominated. The votes were then collated and arranged in order of the votes recieved. In the event of a tie the the podcasters arranged the trades into an order based on their own opinions.
