Summary: A Textbook Defintion : Quinn and King's Nightvision
Review: A first glance, brillance. At second glance, revelation. Then there's a burning in your heart. Because, there's nothing that could take the place of Blythe's story. Make no mistake, as a poor observer to the long standing brillance that is maximus literatti personified, David Quinn gives as good as the reader can get, then feeds you more. Blythe's actions define woman personified: complex at definition by their actions, easily understandable at their core. Defined by the chaos around her, but rising above it, she is triumphant not through her therupatic killing of her kin, the other creatures of nightmare, but through the ascension of her coming to terms with matters of heart and soul. Make no mistake, Blythe, heroine to mankind, is our savior. And yet, like all those who seek martydom through heroism, she is flawed and fragile, compelling us not to pity, but to exalt and worship her. Master Arcitect Quinn, blessed with Hannibal King's hands and eye, turn in one of the best well written, soul defining, horror stories ever. And this edition, presents the ascension as it should be read, as one contained book. And to the Pantheons of tragic heroines : Pandora, Helen, Juliet...we add Blythe. I said it before when this series was in comic form back in 1994, I'll say it again here. "Quinn has written the defining book on female comic characters, the textbook for all others to study and follow from." Do yourself a favor, and share souls with Blythe. Come to an understanding for yourself the beauty of this work. I HIGHLY reccommend it!

Summary: What _Vampire_Lestat_ *wanted* to be, yet hadn't the guts!
Review: Fiercely viscious, with a nearly-humanist subtext, BLYTHE pounds away the effeminate, androgynous millstone from the neck of the vampire mythos. In an incredibly cinematic visual feast of nearly 200 pages, I was engorged with the film-noir delicacy of this book. I encourage anyone interested in truly SMART comics and graphic literature to buy, enjoy and share it. Egret Snow - Dubuque Daily Review
