Gagne International, 2000

Simply elegant
The third book of Michel's ongoing and ever growing collection of books that always makes you wonder whats next. Beautifully and simplisticly told yet all the while deep and wonderful. A book that goes to the basics of black and white yet draws you in through elegant design and an even more vivid imagination. Highly recommended to all who have loved the past books and to anyone wanting a ...

Main Street Books, 1997

Wow! If only high school/college history had been this fun and insightful
You know it takes a comic to get to heart of humanity. In most history books you get a narrow point of view, and one that is usually "politically correct" according to the standards of the day. By making a comic version of history, the author can get around all of the "PC"ness of most history books and really hit home with the way humanity *is* and *always was.* The "sheep love" of early ...

Bone Volume 2: The Great Cow Race

Jeff Smith

GRAPHIX, 2005

Good series
The only drawback off this TPB is its length - this comics is simplistic so you go through the book fast. But the story is great, characters are engaging and you have to wait for the next volume. Note - this edition is colored and is really beautiful. Can't imaging it in any other quality.

Comic excellence unsurpassed
Volume #2 of the 'Bone,' graphic novel series collects issues #7-11 originally released in 1992-1993. Those who enjoyed the first volume will surely enjoy this second collection even more, as the characters and storylines introduced in vol. #1 hit their full stride and become further fleshed out in fun and effortless fashion. Reading through the 'Bone,' series is reminiscent of listening to a ...

Parragon Publishing, 2002

Awesome Collection of Rare Photos
This is a collection of rare Beatles' photos taken from pre-1964 to a period 'after the Beatles.' Each chapter of the book is titled after a Beatles' song (e.g. chapter four is titled "Hello Goodbye"). The photos have descriptions beside them giving an explanation of what is going on in the pic, where it might have been taken, who is in the pic, and other facts that might pertain tom the pic such ...

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka, Vol. 1

Tohru Fujisawa

TokyoPop, 2002

REALITY MANGA STYLE
Great Teacher Onizuka, or GTO, for short, is one of the most popular mangas going, with over 37 million copies sold worldwide. I wouldn't really expect that, seeing as how it focuses on the life of a teacher. If you can imagine a cross between Marlon Brando as the Wild One and the beatnik attitude of Jack Kerouac along with the cool hipness of Japanese youth as a teacher. While being brillantly ...

The Great Catsby Vol. 1 (Great Catsby)

NETCOMICS, 2006

Poignant and hits home
Anyone who knows what it's like to lose love, not know quite what to do with your life, and having potential--but again, being beside yourself with what to do with it--will love this book. The story is beautiful, and the drawings are too! It's very cinematic, especially as the volumes go on. I also give Doha kudos for doing such a good job with the anthropomorphic animal thing. Not many ...

Jack of Fables Vol. 1: The (Nearly) Great Escape

Jack of Fables
Jack of Fables gets his own spin-off series! I have to admit, at first, I was sort of like, why? But, now I understand. It's because Jack kicks butt! In case you don't know, Jack also goes by Jack of the Beanstalk, Jack B. Horner, Jack of the Tales, and apparently Jack Frost in colder climates. When we last saw Jack in the Fables comics, he had become a huge player in the Hollywood scene, ...

I loved Mallory and the Mystery Diary!
Mallory and the Mystery Diary is about Mallory and Stacy thinking there is a ghost in Stacy's new house. They find old portriats and a big old-fanshioned trunck. They find out a rich family lived here in the 1800's. Mallory gets to keep the truck. Her brothers finally open it (she has brothers that are triplets!), and finds fine, old clothing and a diary with a stack of papers. She reads the ...

Great Stuff
I love this book and highly recommend it to anyone who likes chocolate even a little. I also always had a hard time melting chocolate, but the techniques for melting chocolate in the front of the book are great. The comics are funny too.

Great Housewives of Art Revisited

Sally Swain

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992

Very funny parodies of famous paintings
Sally Swain's Great Housewives of Art and ditto Revisted are hilariously funny parodies of famous paintings, and a very sophisticated form of humour in that if you do not know the original paintings you are at a loss as to why other people are rolling in the aisles. Women find them funnier than men, but men are the ones being sniped at by Ms Swain's brush. What she does is take a famous ...

Wow, incredible!
The manga is just too good. I have continued to enjoy this manga ever since the first volume. Anyone who hasn't already bought this should.

Great Reminders of Why Cats Make Great Kids
For those of us who choose to have kids with four legs and a tail, this is the perfect book. You'll never have a cat asking for piercings, never have to change diapers, they LOVE liver and litter training is a breeze. Sure, some people will never understand the bond between cats and humans but I know I'm their mama and they're my kids.

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka, Vol. 2

3 reviews

TokyoPop, 2002

GTO, the life continues
The second GTO book picks up a faster pace and provides more dimension to Great Teacher Onizuka. The realistic character of a young turk turned teacher is amusing and different from other manga titles. The strong personality of Onizuka is balanced with his experience (zero) with girls. A fun and provocative enterntainment.

Random House Value Publishing, 1988

Invaluable Tome
This book is an invaluable tome of cross-referenced historical information covering every aspect of Superman's origin, his history, countless other characters in the mythos (including his friends, enemies, and lovers), and the mythology of Krypton. It is a labor of love and deserves to be in print.

Akiko and the Great Wall of Trudd
The third book in the series was the best so far! I have read all of the books in the series to my 6 year old. He has liked them all. But with the Wall of Trudd, he wanted to read more and more. It has great action in it. My interest was also kept by watching Akiko grow as a leader and a person. The characters continue to amuse and engage.

Last Laughs: Cartoons About Aging, Retirement...and the Great Beyond

Laughing to the end...
An unlikely topic for humor - hence - very fresh, clever, and funny cartoons. I almost died laughing and am very pleased that each contributing cartoonist was able to rise to the occasion. Great laughs for the holiday season.

Jeffrey Metzner

Aurum Press Ltd, 2007

EXCELLENT!!
Stick is a genius idea and a pleasure to read. This book is filled with interesting stick figure drawings of famous works of art, great moments in history and iconic images. Jeffrey Metzner's style is obviously simple but mentally interactive. And I never thought stick figures could be so beautifully humorous. This would make the perfect gift for literally anyone at any age. I know because I ...
