Junofoto Junior junofoto — Great characters and important context make for wonderful reading. I can't recommend this as well as Ozeki's earlier "My Year of Meats" enough.

Sarah L 10arts_tudios — I like Ken Follet, so I grabbed this. In true Ken Follet style, it's really long and, of course, part of a trilogy. Set around the first world war, it traces various characters in the UK, Germany, Russia, and the U.S. Also true to Ken Follet style, there are numerous 'romantic' encounters and *surprise* ill-timed pregnancies. Seriously...on the fence whether I'll keep reading. Pretty interesting from a historical perspective though.

Venancio Veber vebervenanac2f — I've been looking for Jack Cole's Plastic Man since I read an article about it my Art Spiegleman (which he apparently expanded into a book, which is now out of print). What is most amazing about Plastic Man (among many amazing things) is the shere efficiency of the story telling. More will happen in a single panel than would happen in a couple pages of your average comic. And what is is particularly remarkable about this is that, for the most part, Cole has not crammed the panels through with text and action (though occasionally he does). Instead he has a totally unerring sense of what does and does not need to be seen in order to move the story along. If you step back and look at it, different panels may seem disjointed, given the amount of important things that happen *between* panels, and yet while reading through it, it feels more fluid than any comic I have yet read. Now, there's a lot more that's brilliant about this book: Cole makes Plastic Man originally the gangster Eel O'Brian (great name or what!) and he keeps up his old persona as a criminal in order to better fight crime; the humor is hilarious and silly, with just the right amount of edge; the action is perfect; the stories work both as parodies and sincere reworkings of Golden Age Superhero stuff at the same time; etc., etc. But what is most amazing to watch and interesting to study is the sheer level of craft that Cole has put into the story telling. Its a shame that these collections have already gone back out of print because everyone who wants to better understand comics should read them.
