I didn’t mean to get this book. It was sitting on a shelf at the library and caught my eye.
I relate well as a late diagnosed adult. I would say most info available relates to parents raising an autistic toddler. So, this was very helpful.

This is not my genre of art. But it is a great insight to of the most celebrated illustrators. He tells a story a single picture.

I was afraid of some formulaic approach, but it references so many outstanding examples to reveal patterns. Definitely a great insight to the differences in narrative fantasy genres.
Quite a few of the examples of stories and authors are out of print and very expensive used versions. But available on “Intrrnet Archive,” though I would rather have a musty smelling paperback.

Tony’s voice is in his writing. The pleasure of reading his words is listening to him.

Struggling with dialogue writing for comic books, I picked up this book to help. And yes, it has helped enormously. It is surprising how well television/movie scripts relate to comic scripts.

Great book. I am rereading it and finding more advice as I make more sequential art.

The main help this book provides to me is that it is relateable. I am diagnosed at 50 and struggle to get information and medical advice that is not addressed to toddlers and young children.

Real insight to the artist and his process. I picked up the book purely for his ability to make a picture that implies a story. An illustration with significant impact. I am not such a fan of his style or general wholesome slice of life.

Everyone should read Tony’s books.

I have mixed feedback. I like the stories but they seem to end abruptly. As if they were not fully flushed out. But, I am such a fan of Junji Ito. And I am a fan of short stories and it fits that bill.

Pretty short but nice graphics.

The booklet is very well designed and provides great illustrations and plans for understanding the castle and town layout. Great job Cadw!

It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but it was more than I guessed.
