Summary: I smoked a cigarette while reading this book.
Review: I don't smoke, but I felt compelled to smoke while reading this book JUST to add to the cool facade that reading this was creating.you WILL look cool wherever you read this book. This is not lie. I repeat, you WILL look cool while reading this book. It's a good book about cool things, and if someone doesn't think you look cool while reading this book, you can be really pretentious and say something like, "well, nobody would expect you to understand anyways..." and slightly brush your hand against the air in dismay. "And besides, my thrift-store-Bohemain style is way cooler than your Wal-Mart style..." And the art and story are alright too.

Summary: Excellent read
Review: One of the very best comic stories I've ever read. The art is amazing. The layouts from page to page are staggering in their creativity. The story itself is meshed so much with historical elements from early animation that you don't know where the fiction begins. The story is quite compelling, and very dark. Reads like non-fiction, if it were possible. This book will stay with you long after you put it down. Highest recommendation for anyone, comic fan or not.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is a wonderful book by underground artist Kim Deitch. Deitch's b&w artwork is early-20th-century-cartoonish yet extremely inticate. I found myself first reading a couple of pages, then going back and visually deciphering everything that was going on in (and around and through) the panels. Not for kids, this is definitely an adult tale. If you are a fan of the works of Charles Burns, Art Spiegelman, Kaz, et al, then this book is for you!
