/CO/ I'm a secret santa to a guy who is 21, but has the intelligence of a 14-15 year old. He likes boobs, action, and slapstick. The problem is that the comic I'd like to get him should contain SIMPLE dialogue. This guy is a gentle giant, sadly, he's also mentally handicapped. He can read, but can't comprehend items someone like Alan Moore might throw into a comic.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I've been considering Bone, but even that is heavy on dialogue. Thoughts?

How's he feel about gratuitous violence?
There's a Marvel character that's actually named Slapstick. I read a bit of it when it was storytimed here, it was pretty entertaining.

He's fine with that. He loved the Spiderman movies, Avengers, and loves Teen Wolf on MTV.

This guy actually looks like fun. I might check it out for myself. Not sure how the kid would feel for this.

Red Sonja, Conan or Vampirella maybe? Or Judge Dredd for something legit good. You could also get him the movie if he hasn't seen that.

Daniel Way Deadpool.
Anything by Bendis.
If you really want to blow his mind, get some Grant Morrison works, he might find it good.

New 52 Harley Quinn is what you want. Retards love it.

Deathstroke. Get him the box that has the mask
How about Lobo? It's damn fine parody and genuinely funny, but doesn't require much to get the joke.
Not to belittle the work, but I feel someone with learning disabilities could enjoy Lobo just as much as someone without.
Just go with the most recent trade of the earlier Giffen/Grant minis.

I'd say they would enjoy it more

This and

Are solid choices. Personally, I like both for what they are. If you're looking for something a little more mainstream that he may be into, I say Daniel Way Deadpool is pretty good as well.

I think Bendis is definitely the way to go, for once. Quick snappy dialogue, heavy on action scenes and reusing panels.
Justice League International could be good too since it's full of comedy and action too.
do you know if he likes BTAS? They've recently reprinted a lot of the old tie-in comics to the show from the 90s into fairly good-sized trades.

>who is 21, but has the intelligence of a 14-15 year old
does that count as mentally handicapped or just dumb/uneducated
>>78170863
anything by Dan Slott or Ken Penders since they all suffer from mental retardation
There's the Gustavo Duarte comics like Monsters & Có, if he digs visual slapstick comedy.
>>78170863
How about Tintin? Pretty straightforward most of the time, good action all around, fanservice light but always good for a read.
Asterix and Obelix in a similar vein. In fact, it'd probably be better, as it doesn't have as complex dialogue.

Sounds like the average /co/ poster... Unless they are actually 14-15 years old browsing 4chan. They wouldn't do it would they? There is a warning in the main page.
I know I am being an Animefag here, but you could try Fist Of The North Star.

How about Andre the Giant? Too much? Bit deeper than others.
