I havn't been into Comics or Graphic Novels for very long, But I can say hands down of what I've read and seen...Locke & Key is the best art. Now as for the writing: Joe Hill does a masterfull job of forcing you care for every character in some way while hate others...The emotions Joe can get ...             Adventures In Oz7 reviews Eric Shanower, L. Frank Baum IDW Publishing, 2007 Enthusiastically recommended reading for ages 8 to 80 L. Frank Baum's delightful Oz books have entertained every generation of readers, young and old alike, since they first appeared more than half a century ago. Indeed, so popular was the world of Oz and its myriad of colorful characters, that after his death other writers took up the task of creating more stories set in that colorful land over the rainbow. Now Eric Shanower has imaginatively ...             Dreamland Chronicles Book One (Bk. 1)14 reviews Scott Christian Sava IDW Publishing, 2008 A wonderful journey This book and it's sequels are wonderful journeys in the land that we all wish we could visit when we sleep. I'm not great at writing reviews so I will just say that these books are more than worth the price and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.             Guns, Drugs, and Monsters: A Cal McDonald Mystery6 reviews Steve Niles, Ashley Wood IDW Publishing, 2002 The day of the monsters is at hand. << Stephanie G Steve Niles wrote a hard core novel that I just couldn't put down for anything. Guns, Drugs and Monsters is full of creativity, energy, wit and charm in every chapter. I found myself savoring every page of this book, often turning away to laugh and collect myself after being stunned by the incredible energy of the prose. This book was filled with nothing but "hardcore super stuff." Not once I ...             The Rocketeer: The Complete Collection6 reviews Dave Stevens IDW Publishing, 2009 A beautiful tribute to a great character and creator I know I'm probably in the minority but I actually liked the Rocketeer movie. Being a little history buff as a kid and a huge Indiana Jones fan the Rocketeer was exactly the sort of thing that piqued my interest. I discovered the Rocketeer through the comics; unfortunately the original stories were published across a bunch of numerous titles and were pretty hard to find, so I had never had the ...             Nightwings15 reviews Robert Silverberg IDW Publishing, 2008 Decayed Earth, sexaul jealousy and pilgrimae The story follows the wanderings of Tomis, a member of the Watcher's Guild which looks to the stars in anticipation of a foretold alien invasion of Earth; invasion, which comes. The invaders have rightful claim for earth ownership via Galactic treaty due to Earth's prior enslavement of the inhabitants of H632. Earth's glory and civilization has fallen since and various specialized Guilds form the ...             Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy Volume 1 (v. 1)17 reviews Chester Gould, Ashley Wood IDW Publishing, 2006 Long Overdue I've been a huge fan of the Dick Tracy comic strip since I picked up my first comic book reprint of the strip sometime in the latter '40s in the middle of the "Boris Arson" narrative arc from the mid-'30s. It was great stuff, and even at my young age I knew it was the real deal and drew upon some actual events for plot points; "Arson" used an iodine-dyed dummy pistol carved from a raw potato to ...             The Complete Terry and the Pirates, Vol. 2: 1937-19386 reviews Milton Caniff IDW Publishing, 2008 Hitting his stride Here's where Caniff really starts to come into his own. The action is fast and furious, the charcters are more defined, the sexy bits get steamier, and the artwork becomes slicker and more expressive. The reproduction of the strips is crystal clear (with the Sundays in the original full color). This comic strip represents the highwater mark of action/adventure strips. And this volume contains ...             The Legend of Grimjack, Vol. 1 (v. 1)8 reviews John Ostrander, Tim Truman IDW Publishing, 2005 Robert Howard meets Raymond Chandler Grimjack was the book for me back in my college days. When First Comics (the book's original publisher) folded, the character and his universe fell into a sort of legal limbo. Now, I'm gratified to see that it's back, with new stories and this fine collection of reprints for you young whippersnappers to get caught up. The eight-page introduction story (mainly consisting of familiar characters ...             The Art of Michael Parkes II5 reviews John Russell Taylor, Michael Parkes IDW Publishing, 2009 Stunning and gorgeous - must own! This is one of the most outstanding art books by any artist I've come across. Page after page of full color paintings, drawings and sculpture. If you're not too sure you like Michael Parkes' art, type his name in google and hit images. That's all you need to know. As for repeating the same works from other books, the one good thing is it repeats many that were shown in the first book which is ...             Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye Volume 1 (v. 1)5 reviews James McDonough, Adam Patyk, ... IDW Publishing, 2008 Excellent for die-hard G1 fans I had no idea what to expect from this book, in fact the item was brought because it was cheap! imagine my surprise when i opened the pages and it was like a step back in time to my childhood. each page feature a transformer with his bio, his quote, abilities and weaknesses. the illustration is well drawn and the details are quite indepth - note they are drawn by different artists so you'd get ...             Ashley Wood's Art Of Metal Gear Solid5 reviews Ashley Wood IDW Publishing, 2009 Big guns, crazy brushstrokes, Ashley wood style Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2ZL4M1OL5Y0NU Looks like Ashley Wood got roped in to create more concept art for Metal Gear Solid, in his own style. The book I have is a white paperback cover instead of the brown one shown on Amazon (left image), not that it makes any difference. It collects art from Ashley Wood's graphic novel adaptations of Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear ...             Bringing Up Father: From Sea to Shining Sea4 reviews George McManus IDW Publishing, 2010 Classic McManus, Beautifully Presented What a wonderful treat to have two high quality reprint books of George McManus' masterwork available after so many years with nary a peep from ol' Jiggs. First there was NBM's reprinting of the first two years of the series, both historic and wildly entertaining, and now IDW enters the market with arguably some of the very best of the strip in its greatest era, the mid-30s to mid-40s. Being a ...             Dreamland Chronicles Book Two (Bk. 2)5 reviews Scott Christian Sava IDW Publishing, 2008 The Dreamland Chronicles continue This second volume in an ongoing story continues to meet the standards set by the first volume, and those were high indeed. A young man returns to the world of his childhood dreams after an 8 year absence, to rediscover long-lost friends, to discover who he is, and embark on a quest even as he tries to come to terms with a world he can only visit in his sleep. As a graphic novel, as a ...             The Art Of P. Craig Russell4 reviews P. Craig Russell IDW Publishing, 2010 A rare artist retrospective There's no other rating for this book than 5 stars from me. P. Craig Russell has been a fine artist and innovator in comic art as well illustration for at least 35 years. The first landmark work appeared in a story about Marvel's master of the occult, Dr. Strange. About the same time he was taking up the job of drawing an obscure but incredible comic about a second wave of Martians who attack ...             Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy Volume 35 reviews Chester Gould, Max Allan Collins, ... IDW Publishing, 2007 dailies ***** sundays * A great comic strip that holds up beautifully. Once you start you are hooked. There is a major drawback, though. The sundays are almost impossible to read as they are cruelly reduced in size. An owl would have trouble. You must somehow enlarge them to appreciate them. Still, a 5 star book as are all Tracy books. And most of the great stories - and villains - are on the horizon in volumes 4 ...             Classic G.I. Joe Volume 3 (G. I. Joe (Graphic Novels)) (v. 3)5 reviews Larry Hama, Steve Leialoha, ... IDW Publishing, 2009 at the heart of the Snake-Eyes saga Having read these back when they first came out back in the early 80s, I was captivated by the whole ninja thing (so big at the time) and the nuanced story line of Larry Hama with its sympathetic treatment of Vietnam vets, seemingly prescient look at terrorism and just good overall artwork. Volume three was especially exciting to read because it contains issues 21, 24, 25 and 26, which present ...             Winterworld5 reviews Chuck Dixon, Jorge Zaffino IDW Publishing, 2009 Uber Cool Imagine Mad Max let loose in a frozen world, and you'll have an idea of the sort of story you'll find in "WinterWorld". Chuck Dixon has knocked out a tale where civilization has died under the weight of ice and snow. Happily, he does not slow down the action of the story with long explanations of how the world got this way. It just is frozen, and no one remembers how it used to be. They only ...             Completely Doomed5 reviews Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson, ... IDW Publishing, 2007 A THROWBACK TO 1970'S HORROR MAGS The bronze age of comics is the most overlooked of the various comic book eras. It doesn't have the historical significance of the Golden Age, the panache of The Silver Age's rejuvenation of comic books, or the gritty realism of the Modern Age. But one thing that the Bronze Age could boast, that none of the other eras could, was the great black & white horror magazines of the 70's. Because ...             GrimJack: Killer Instinct5 reviews John Ostrander, Tim Truman IDW Publishing, 2005 After thirteen years, it hits the ground running. John Gaunt a.k.a."GrimJack" isn't a simple character to understand. He is as multidimensional as his home city, Cynosure. This tale goes a long way in explaining what went into his makeup. He was the greatest gladiator of the Pit. He fought with distinction during the Demon Wars as one of the legendary Demon Knights. He was a bounty hunter with the Law Killers. He served with the Transdimensional ...              search for books 1937-1938, adventures, ashley, bringing, chester, chronicles, classic, collection, complete, completely, dreamland, father, graphic, grimjack, instinct, killer, legend, mcdonald, michael, monsters, mystery, nightwings, parkes, pirates, rocketeer, russell, shining, transformers, volume, winterworld books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
