In Yesterday's Tomorrows, we have five short comics, each with it's own writer and story, but all with the same artist, Rian Hughes. Each story has a unique format and shows a lot of Hughes range and techniques, which were all wonderful on different levels.
Unfortunately what each story has to offer plot wise is a bit of a mixed bag. Although overall the content of this collection was pretty good and the art was excellent, the storytelling just couldn't hold my attention in any sort of meaningfu...more

Originally published as a limited edition hardcover, the beautiful Yesterday's Tomorrows features the clean stylings of acclaimed graphic illustrator Rian Hughes.

I did not complete the book as the stories after Dan Dare did not seem of interest to me. However, I enjoyed the detail and design of the illustrations. It is worth reading.
