The book is over sized with with a removable box dust cover. The binding is gorgeous and cryptic. Truly inspired by Gaimans work. The pages are thick and colorful... filled with beautiful art and Gaimans amazing stories of his Endless characters.

.American Widow
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Alissa Torres

September 09, 2008
With time inexorably passing by, and amongst the far too many pointless narratives exploiting 9/11 to nobody's gain, here comes Alissa Torres' extraordinary book. The blessing of truth, unmitigated and at times scathing, as it emerges page after page in American Widow, does more for our collective and individual insight than any increasingly pale, and vain, anniversary celebration. And the splendid drawings make this book highly recommendable for any curious and intelligent child and for all New Yorkers, really.

.The Sandman Vol. 5: A Game of You
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Neil Gaiman, Bryan Talbot, George Pratt, Stan Woch

September 03, 1993
The last three volumes of The Sandman have completely outdone what came before. I thought there were glimmers of a good story in the first two volumes, but the storytelling itself was so clunky and unfocused that it was hard to find what really made me keep reading. Well, I'm glad I did, because the fifth volume, "A Game of You," is easily the best written installment so far.

While the Sandman himself hardly appears in this volume, I didn't find that frustrating at all. By this point, Gaiman has begun to write from character, and that really helps the story move forward in unpredictable and fantastic ways. It's about a girl who dreams herself into a fantasy realm that is endangered by the Cuckoo, who sends agents into the real world ... Read More:

.The Adventures of Tintin: Tintin in America / Cigars of the Pharaoh / The Blue Lotus (3 Complete Adventures in One Volume, Vol. 1)
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Herge

May 02, 1994
Brilliant! Bought the whole set of 7 books for the kids (aged 8 & 10) and they loved them. The format is smaller than I remembered from my childhood but the kids didn't care. They read them over and over again. They also loved the Calvin and Hobbs books.

.Batman: Haunted Knight
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale

September 01, 1996
Just like Loeb/Sale's "Batman: Long Halloween" and "Batman: Dark Victory", "Batman: Haunted Knight" is another holiday themed graphic novel. It is a trio of short stories which are nothing short of amazing. In the first story, Scarecrow is prowling about Gotham on Halloween night. The second story is based around the Mad Hatter and his obsession with Lewis Carrol's "Alice and Wonderland". Finally, the third story is a batman christmas carrolesque story in which batman learns a life lesson from three spirits who take the form of people who have greatly influenced him throughout his years. ((Note: the final story is clearly meant to be like Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". At the beginning of the graphic novel it says "Ghosts based on a christmas carol"))

.Preacher Vol. 2: Until the End of the World
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Garth Ennis

January 01, 1997
If you're a fan of Garth Ennis and Preacher, you can't go wrong with volume 2 Until the End of the World. More sex and violence than vol.1, with all the great social commentary as before. Just watch out because my copy through Amazon was missing the last 24 pages and left the entire story hanging for me.

.Take Our Cat, Please: A Get Fuzzy Collection (Get Fuzzy (Graphic Novel))
City Travel Guides > Books > Comics and Graphic Novels
by: Darby Conley

May 01, 2008
I read this book before bed, two to four pages a night. It clears away all the stray thoughts and stress leftover from the day. Sometimes, I laugh so hard I have to wipe away tears. The Ouiji board telling the cat to hit the dog in the "pie-hole" had me in stitches. Fell right to sleep. Doesn't get any better.
