Berona Abrams, 2008 A Serious Look into Wordless Books Wordless Books: The Original Graphic Novels by the prolific writer David Beronä is a gem filled with informative serious content for the novice and well seasoned in the woodcut novel genre. This beautiful book is a visual treat to read with images around every turn of a page. In Beronä's past articles on the topic and now in this book, it is always interesting to read his interpretation on these ...             Captain America: Red, White & Blue4 reviews Paul Dini, Bruce Jones, ... Marvel Comics, 2007 The Re-imaging of Cap for a New Generation This book made me fall in love with comics all over again after about a 15 year absence (the release of the horrible G.I. Joe #50). If Marvel put out a hardcover book like this 'bout Cap every year I would buy it the day it was released. I love its "catalogue" feel. Like a Cap sampler. There's probably 2 chapters I could live without. The rest are pure joy. I also highly recommend Captain ...             Stop Forgetting to Remember: The Autobiography of Walter Kurtz3 reviews Peter Kuper Crown, 2007 Hilarious and poignant With wonderful art and terrific writing, Kuper's memoir speaks to everyone who grew up in the age of sex, drugs and rock-and-roll who now finds themselves dealing with parenthood, love, and career. It's a book that's funny and moving, deep and original.             Give It Up: And Other Short Stories3 reviews Franz Kafka, Peter Kuper Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 1995 Visual improvisations From the introduction by Jules Feiffer: "To 'classically illustrate' Melville, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky et al doesn't make them accessible, it makes them mute... add pictures and panels and balloons to the text, and the secret of communion that gives fiction its power is betrayed... Kuper... doesn't do what I hate, he does what I love. Jazz. This book is a series of riffs, visual improvisations on ...             Eye of the Beholder3 reviews Peter Kuper Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 2000 It's all in the eye of the beholder 'Eye of the Beholder' is a fascinating collection of short comics by Peter Kuper ('The System'), originally published as weekly newspaper comics strips. As always, Kuper uses no text in his work; his formula for these 'visual puzzles' is quite simple - four panels set the scene, and provoke a certain question mark: then you turn the page over, and the fifth panel provides the punchline or solves ...             System2 reviews Peter Kuper Vertigo, 1997 GREAT COMIC FROM KUPER Peter Kuper is in my opinion one of the best comic artistcreating today. The System is a wordless story about a live in a big,ugly, sleazy city. In The System Kuper creates a complicated story of many lives and how they interact whith each other, all told in pictures with hardly any words, and the pictures are fabulous, Kuper has a very individual style which I think is brilliant. This is not a ...             The Metamorphosis5 reviews Franz Kafka Three Rivers Press, 2004 perfect visual representation of the original this graphic novel version of kafka's metamorphosis does every bit of justice to the original novella. the artwork is heavy on the black ink, giving it the perfect amount of darkness, yet gregor's antagonists are portrayed comically -- their facial expressions fit their shallow characters perfectly. i dont know much about kafka's original intent with metamorphosis (as another reviewer pointed ...             Graphic Classics Volume 5: Jack London - 2nd Edition (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels))2 reviews Jack London, Rod Lott, ... Eureka Productions, 2006 Weird and Wild tales from an American master Think of Jack London, and the image springs to mind of racing dog packs racing over icy Alaskan landscapes, fighting fang and fur in a primitive struggle for life. On the reading list of almost every American school system, "The Call of the Wild" is a classic of American literature. And there it stops. Aside from "The Call of the Wild," I was totally ignorant of Jack London's works. I never ...             Speechless Peter Kuper Top Shelf Productions, 2000 A coffee-table art book of one of the most significant activist artists of our generation.

From his co-founding days of "World War 3" (the longest running magazine in 'zine history), to Rolling Stone's Comic Artist of the Year, to major magazine cover illustrator and beyond.

They are radical voices for the 21st century.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1ONT9LRSBFK3Z             Mind's Eye: An Eye of the Beholder Collection3 reviews Peter Kuper Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 2000 These visual puzzles provide much food for thought Mind's Eye is the second 'Eye of the Beholder' collection, which began as the first comic strip to run in the New York Times, and provides a fine set of black and white strips which presents a particular viewpoint. These visual puzzles provide much food for thought: there are panels of scenes, then turn the page for the unifying concept linking them.             Give It Up! And Other Stories Kafka: And Other Short Stories by Franz Kafka3 reviews Franz Kafka ComicsLit, 2005 better than kuper's metamorphosis dear reader, i warmly invite you to take up the brilliant improvisational artistic renderings that peter kuper offers up to franz kafka's more illusory and difficult fables and fantastic tales. at the time of writing, the sole other reviewer has noted the difficulty of the kafka stories selected for this publication. while i refuse to claim they are "simple", the beautiful aspect of this ...             Why Be Different: A Look into Judaism Janice Prager, Arlene Lepoff Behrman House, 1986 Discusses the beliefs of Judaism and their application to everyday life.             The Jungle4 reviews Upton Sinclair, Emily Russell Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 2005 A graphic novel that turns "The Jungle" back into a call for socialism When I read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" in high school I had to keep reminding myself that that novel was written in 1906, otherwise I would never be able to eat another hot dog the rest of my life. Although muckraking is a term used to describe journalistic exposes, "The Jungle" functioned much the same way by bringing instant notoriety to the American meatpacking industry. In his story of ...             Theo and the Blue Note4 reviews Viking Juvenile, 2006 Joys of Jazz Highly regarded graphic novelist (and Spy vs. Spy artist) Peter Kuper has written a book for kids (4-8), and it's a total pleasure. Theo is a young cat with a horn who takes a rocket ship to the moon, where he meets jazz legends like Duck Ellington and Charlie Porker and gives them just what they need-- one beautiful blue note. I've enjoyed Kuper's grown-up books for a long time. This is a great ...             Sticks and Stones2 reviews Peter Kuper Three Rivers Press, 2004 Magnificent, wordless storytelling This book won the 2005 Society of Illustrators Gold Medal for Sequential Art. The magic here is that everyone, from small children to adults, will enjoy the story and take meaning from it -- it is timeless in its power and truthfulness. The black & white artwork is simply stunning (and several sequences are beautifully colored, adding to the meaning and message). This book reminds me of ...             Comics Trips1 review Peter Kuper Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 1992 Best combination of comics & travel writing This comic, which is actually called "Peter Kuper's Comics Trips: A Journal of Travels Through Africa and Southeast Asia," is a revelation, the most influential piece of travel writing I've ever read. Documenting Kuper's adventures in Africa and Asia, "Comics Trips" is part comic, part sketchbook, part photo album -- and entirely engaging. Highlights of the book include an account of a ...              search for books america, autobiography, beholder, captain, classics, collection, comics, confrontational, different, edition, forgetting, graphic, illustrated, judaism, jungle, kafka, london, metamorphosis, novels, original, remember, speechless, sticks, stones, stories, stripped, system, volume, walter, wordless books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
