3.Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life by: Paul Gravett October 12, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.29 You Save: £5.70 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.51
Following his success of Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics with another affirmative and considered guide to comics, Gravett now focuses on the phoenix-like return of the “Graphic Novel” that failed to live up to expectations in the early ’90s. However, time has moved on and this book reveals how the medium has evolved dramatically over the past ten years. Gravett’s masterstroke is to reproduce at least two full pages of sequential artwork, giving readers a real flavour of each title examined. Annotated notes alongside the artwork explain the material in a manner reminiscent of fine art books. Not only that but the excellent, if initially hard to follow, thematic cross indexing means there are endless ways of making connections ... Read More:

4.Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics by: Paul Gravett 2004-07
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.99 You Save: £4.96 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.49
Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics is a must. Every page is domintated by useful information and the layout throughout is highly atttractive. It covers every subject in manga, including sci-fi, shounen-ai, kodomo, and hentai. However, if you are just a fan of simple shoujo manga, full of cuddly cute characters and happy scenes, this book is probably not for you. It includes pictures of horror manga, and it is a little strong on the hentai side. But, the pictures themselves make this book worth purchasing as in contains some rare manga strips. So even though it may hold content that some readers' may not find to their taste, there's enough information in here for any manga fan. A must buy.

5.Great British Comics by: Paul Gravett October 26, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.29 You Save: £5.70 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.49
I have a few books on comics in general, and 'Great British Comics' beats all of them hands down. It is wonderfully written - not scholarly, not dumb, but perfectly readable, intelligent and also very positive about its subject matter, showing no snobbery or bias towards any one particular area. And talking of that, the diversity of genres and styles is quite astounding - British comics are incredibly rich in history and it is fascinating to see the quality of early strips and their development through the years. But they also have a rich future from the look of things, and Paul Gravett is enthusiastically upbeat about a medium that many thought lost along with their distant childhood... "Oh yeah, I remember comics! Do they still make them?". There is a current scene ... Read More:
