A wonderful tale from Oz that you will treasure for a long time.

The fourth and best volume in a great series
In this, the fourth volume of a five volume series of graphic novels, "founded on and continuing the famous Oz stories of L. Frank Baum," Eric Shanower tells us the story of Nelanthe, one of the wood-nymphs of the Forest of Burzee. Burzee with its wood-nymphs is one of the most magical places ever imagined by L. Frank Baum. And Eric Shanower exceeds all his other work to bring this forest to ...

The first volume of an enchantingly great series
Eric Shanower is the best contemporary narrator of Oz and a worthy heir to authorship in the body of works started and defined by L. Frank Baum and John R. Neil. In this series of graphic novels Shanower is at his best! Others have done Oz comics with more edge and in a more contemporary style, but none have been truer to the spirit of Oz. His color illustrations bring the land and its ...

Yagyu Retsudo renews the quest to kill Ogami Itto & Daigoro
The Yagyu letter continues to gnaw at Yagyu Retsudo who gives ample proof in Volume 13 of the Lone Wolf & Cub saga, "The Moon in the East, the Sun in the West," that he will go to any length to get his revenge on Ogami Itto. In the five chapters of the manga epic included in this volume is the most shocking act of violence we have yet wetness in this bloody saga: (64) "The Moon in the East, the ...

Simple Complexity
These elegant short stories are deceptive. On the surface hardly anything seems to "happen" in each "episode" other than a sword fight or two. Actually there is a LOT going on. Koike is in touch with humanity in ways many of us never will be. Lone Wolf & Cub artwork is anything but simple. These stories are CARRIED by the masterful drawings. I am constantly amazed. The main ...

Fairly neat--uses a rat brain-- cheaper than a MICROCHIP any day!
This is a very cool, highly recommended book. If you're a digital artist of whatever stripe, you'll be interested in the art and production of "Shatter." Long time veterans of digital graphics will either look at this with either warm nostalgia, as I do, or with dread recalling the old days of computer graphics. Either way, you have to admire the intricate, painstaking work of creating a comic in ...

An Enchanting Oz Adventure
Being a great Oz enthusiast, (just to get qualifications out of the way, I've read all the L. Frank Baum books (some multiple times), most of Ruth Plumly Thompson's books, one of John R. Neill's, one of Jack Snow's, etc.) I saw this comic version of an Oz tale, and I was highly interested. I had read The Forgotten Forest of Oz quite a few years ago and enjoyed it greatly. I purchased The ...

American Flagg! Southern Comfort

First Comics, 1987

Classic Chaykin
I read comics for both art and story. Chaykin is among the very few authors who consistently deliver the best of both. American Flagg is a great series from Chaykin at the peak of his powers. The story wanders a bit, as you'd expect from a long-lived comic series. The general theme is the world in general and the US in particular sunk into a world that Nero or Caligula might have envied. ...

Howard Chaykin at his best!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great graphic novel from the Harlan Ellison of the comic book world! Set in the future, it has a Sci-Fi (think Blade Runner) setting and a dashing if semi-roguish hero. As Michael Moorcock states & best sums up on the back of the book - "In the tradition of the urban adventure story whose greatest exponents include Chandler, Hammett & Philip K. Dick... here it is its most enjoyable & ...
