The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections

35 reviews
Neil Gaiman

Vertigo, 1994

One of the best in the series!
To me, this is one of the best volumes in the series. It's a collection of eight separate stories of varying lengths, almost all with an historical connection. (To more or less real people, that is.) And there's no frame story for a change. "Three Septembers and a January" is a lovely piece about Emperor Norton, the deluded mascot of San Francisco for several decades in the 19th century, while ...

You can't go wrong...
...with any of the Scary Godmother Books. They are all instant classics. The illustrations are some of the best I have ever seen. My daughter loves this book.

Magic Trixie Sleeps Over (Magic Trixie)

1 review

HarperTrophy, 2008

Magic Trixie Sleeps Over is a fantastic book
There are a lot of reasons to like this book. First and foremost, Jill Thompson is a phenomenal artist. You will absolutely love the watercolor art. Secondly, it is a great story. Yes, it is mostly meant for kids (it delivers one of those 'be careful what you wish for' stories), but adults can definitely enjoy it as well. If you have kids of your own, or you know someone who has kids and ...

awsome fun little pocket book
i ordered this book thinking i was getting a full size book. when it came i realized that it was a small almost pocket size book. despite its small size the book does not disapoint. it was a great quick read with 3 x-files stories in it. bottom line. totally worth the 8$ total that i paid for it. i might be hesitant to buy it for more than 10$ + shipping as it is a small quick book.

The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives

Vertigo, 1995

Change Makes The Sandman Impossibly Better
I thought Season of Mists was my favorite The Sandman volume until I read Brief Lives. Brief Lives absolutely has it all--drama, action, comedy, romance, and philosophical ponderings. It focuses upon Morpheus rather directly--unlike other volumes where sometimes he exists within the stories only peripherally--as he helps his sister Delirium track down their brother known as Destruction. ...

Sirius Entertainment, 2000

Best Scary book yet!
I've purchased all of the Scary Godmother books in this seriesd and I have to say, I've enjoyed them all. But this is the one my nieces and nephews have me read over and over and over! It's almost Halloween and the Scary Godmother comes down with "the dreaded Boo Flu" so her little friend Hannah volunteers for Scary Godmother duty. It's a much bigger job than she thought. Great fun to see her ...

The True Meaning of Halloween - Candy!
Mick Foley has once again written an instant children's classic. He uses his witty humor and rhymes to produce a wonderfully written halloween book for children of all ages. It is a must read for any fans of his writing and comes highly recommended.

Jill Thompson

Sirius Entertainment, 2006

Jill Thompson has done it again!
The Scary Godmother is one of the most unique characters to burst upon the scene in a long time. Ms. Thompson's second offering "The Mystery Date" is a grand adventure. She has a wonderful knack of developing "scary" characters and making you love them! Our darling Hannah builds on her relationships with Skully Pettibone, Bug-A-Boo and the rest of her friends, and adds more acquaintences ...

The Dead Boy Detectives

Vertigo, 2005

Highly enjoyable
Though it's hardly up to the epic storytelling of the Sandman series that inspired it, Jill Thompson's little spin-off title is a quirky, enjoyable, and affordable read.

The Dark Horse Book Of Witchcraft

4 reviews
Mike Mignola, Gary Gianni, ...

Dark Horse, 2004

Scary
The Dark Horse Book of Witchcraft features a leering, hideous old woman on the cover, in some kind of embrace with a goat. This is your first clue that these dark tales feature no young and curvaceous Charmed girls, no Sabrina the Teen-Aged Witch. The witches in this volume are the real thing, the original black magic practicioners who made convenants with the Devil and reveled in evil ways. ...

Grendel: Red, White, & Black (Grendel (Graphic Novels))

1 review
Matt Wagner, Jill Thompson, ...

Dark Horse, 2006

If you like Hunter Rose....
This book continues the collaborations between Wagner and guest illustrators depicting episodes from the life of grandiose assassin Hunter Rose, the first and most entertaining character to sport the Grendel costume. Despite all the obvious criticisms one could direct against the sadistic anti-hero and the adolescently pretentious tone of the writing, the character and stories remain compelling, ...

The Little Endless Storybook

3 reviews
Jill Thompson

Vertigo, 2005

If you like the Endless (and have a sense of humor)
This was a refreshing little goblet of Endless sorbet - a palate cleanser between courses, one might say. I wouldn't read it to my son as a bedtime story - well, not just yet. Why does the naked fat woman have rats in her hair? Hmmmm. . . . good question. The characters are mostly in character, and the artwork is a constant delight. Destruction is just a hoot! I'm still a little ...

Magic Trixie

HarperTrophy, 2008

Magical Trixie is amazing!!
The artwork is spell-binding, grabbing your attention right off the bat. But it is the story that is truly great. The set of characters that Jill Thompson has created is unique and wonderful. The story is geared for children but is enjoyable to adults, too, because of Trixie, her family and friends. I can't wait to see what other adventures this young witch gets in to. A definite gift ...

Hellboy: Weird Tales, Vol. 2

John Cassaday, P. Craig Russell, ...

Dark Horse, 2004

Demon Babies Say the Sweetest Things!
While working for the BPRD, Hellboy and crew see a lot of action. Unfortunately for us, all this glorious information has to take a back seat to the other things pressing Mike Mignola for time. Its an understandable dilemma, mind you, and one that I?ve patiently worked around, hoping all the while for a few more delicious morsels from the Hellboy table and trying not to complain too much when I ...

Muirhead-Allwoo, Vishy Mahadevan, ...

Routledge, 2001

A superb guidebook. Expensive BUT it works
I am 40 and suffer from ankylosing sponditis (a form of rheumatoid arthritis) and before I found Dr Murray my back pain was intolerable to the degree I seriously wondered if I would ever have a pain free life again. Dark thoughts entered my head and I grew despondent. Then I found this book in a local bookstore and said, Why not, what do I have to lose? Well pain was the biggest thing :-). ...

Truly Invigorating"
The Secret of Dead Man's Mine is a truly fascinating mystery. It makes sleuthing look so fun and pleasurable. It's a good work out for the mind. It is great for a school report, because it will really get the class on the edge of their seats. Kids from ages 10-15 will enjoy this book.

9-11: September 11, 2001 (Stories to Remember, Volume 2)

9 reviews
Neil Gaiman, Stan Lee, ...

DC Comics, 2002

some people need to take it for what the book was for
I am using these two volumes to do my senior thesis and have read the other reviews and am convinced that some reviewers need to BACK OFF. This was written in commemoration for those who had a hard time dealing with the tragedy, not for you to criticize. The artists and comics who made these works did so as a way to understand and as a way to vent. I am sorry, but if you are going to criticize ...
