I had long wanted this collection but couldn't justify the price for something so seemingly silly. Found Overstock's lower price and had a discount code so I jumped on it. The slipcase was trashed! It was gouged and ripped and will soon be unservi

Imagine my surprise upon opening a sealed copy of this set to discover significant grease stains on the pages of the first volume. For what this set represents and what it costs, this is unacceptable.

I don't even have it yet, but Amazon says I will by next Wednesday or so. I've read Larson for as long as I've been able, and at around $50 less than retail how can you not buy it? Love those cows!! Please come back Gary!

Of all the books in my collection this ranks as my favourite. Yes, that's right, I said 'books'. The Watchmen, although released as a series of comic books, still tells one of the most inventive and intriguing stories of any I have ever...

Let me just start by saying that I think I can appreciate why this book was so groundbreaking when it came out in the mid-eighties: the innovative moral ambiguity of its heroes, the epic scope, the highbrow epigraphs (Ooo, Nietzsche! Dylan! This...

Moore is a good writer but not a genius. Of course, a common comic reader (from DC or Marvel) has got reasons for being surprised. However, who reads Pratt's, Moebius or Oestergeld's works knows better plots and the finest drawings in the history...

As a whippersnapper I read New Yorker cartoons. They inspired me to become an illustrator. My lack of success was a source of humor to others, and I inadvertantly became a humorist. It is helpful to read this book and see how those at the top of...

This is a beautiful book and wonderful conversation piece. There is so much detail and it is a true encyclopedia of these famous comics. As a fan of Marvel, this is a great way to learn all the backstories and details on favorite characters not to

Tengo 45 a?os y crec? leyendo en Espa?a los tebeos de la Marvel en blanco y negro. Tener ahora todo el universo Marvel en mis manos es una gozada. Es como volver a una oparte de mi infancia.
Sencillamente espectacular!

This is by far the best Calvin and Hobbes yet. The colors are great, and the expressions from all characters are greatly done in every aspect, and the strips are laugh out loud funny. If you are into comics at all, buy this book! Truly a...

Yeah, Calvin and Hobbes was great. But you'll come no closer to understanding Bill Watterson's thought process after reading this book than you will before. It's not a total loss: the sources of some characters are interesting, and Watterson's...

Bill Watterson decided to do a retrospective of his comic book series Calvin and Hobbes, although ten years isn't really a long life for a comic strip. In this book he talks about the kind of things you'd probably expect to read in a book like...

This book has great pictures, the pages are fun to look at!! It is not so difficult it's impossible, but they are challenging enough that it can be enjoyed by many ages. Great pass time for the kids!

Although it is a dramatic retelling of this real battle, you can still tell Mr. Miller did his research,little details in the art and such. The art is dramatic and well done the story is solid and fast paced. This is the type of book that...

I would like to give it two stars just to balance out the large amount of overly generous ones but as a Conan the Barbarian fantasy this is passable though not in any way especially imaginative.

Most of the people who scored it highly...

I was recently given a copy of Miller's comic book, "300", a Graphic Adventure based loosely on the Spartan defense of Thermopylae against the forces of the Shah of Persia, Known to the Greeks as Xerxes. Be forewarned: Do not try to use this...

When Bone was first recommended to me by a friend I laughed and scoffed at the simplistic depictions of the "Bone" characters. "Is this Casper the Ghost meets The Lord of the Rings?" I asked. But then I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did. read full review | report as inappropriate

The Complete Peanuts is definitely complete! It's a real collectors' item! Hats off to Fantagraphics Books for initiating such an ambitious project though their release schedule (releasing only two books every year - it will take twelve and a half...
