jhalbright would be screwed. There's only one reason you'd have to retreat to a desert island: Zombies. And there's only one practical book on surviving the zombie hordes: The Zombie Survival Handbook. I would also take World War Z about the zombie wars, on of my all time favorite books.

Seriously though, I'm fascinated with these responses. I don't think most of these choices would make my top 500 list. Here's my list, not necessarily my favorite comic books, but my favorite single volumes:

Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract
Lord of the Rings (complete edition)
Complete Robert E Howard Conan
World War Z
Leaves Of Grass

Kingdom Come Absolute
Savage Sword of Conan Vol. 1
Simonson Thor Omnibus
Best of American Splendor
Starman Omnibus Vol. 1
