  <default-description>Super Spy is 52 interwoven short stories about cyanide, pen-guns, heartbreak and betrayal. Each story follows the life of a spy during World War II. Spanning the globe from Spain to France and Germany, this book takes the reader on a tour of the everyday life of the spy. From the small lies and deceptions to the larger secrets that everyone hides, Super Spy reveals the nature of espionage and how an individual can be lost and also find redemption. A children's book is something more than it seems... a woman swims the English Channel to deliver a deadly secret... a German spy desperately seeks escape for herself and her daughter... and a spy continues to serve his country even beyond death.</default-description>

Although in the case of this cover, I was led to believe it was a little more light than it actually was. I thought it probably was Nancy Drew type &quot;Super Spy&quot; not spies killing other spies.  The illustrations ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40663397">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I dug this. It's an effective use of a fun trend in recent comics—the series of short stories done in pastiches of various styles, that all turn out to interconnect and form one larger story. (Dan Clowes' recent stuff (<em>Ice Haven</em> and <em>Death Ray</em>) is probably the best example of this.)

    <body><![CDATA[The art in this is really unique and interesting. The only difficulty was keeping track of the characters in order to make all the connections when the stories start to come together. I'll probably read it again pretty soon in order to get the bigger picture. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What does it mean to be a spy? That is, to make a life out of deception? What toll does it take on your humanity? What Kindt does, rather than add to the heap of spy cliches, is puts a human face on spying.<br/><br/>The result is an original approach to not only to this genre, but of the comic nar...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35191308">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one is hard to follow. The art is, well, pretty, which definitly counts for something. It has a wistful quality too. I like how the &quot;cool badass&quot; elements and poetic elements are woven together.<br/><br/>Not a bad start into the illustration of Matt Kindt, but his characters look the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31203078">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Super Spy is a mammoth graphic novel (336 pages) that illustrates just how powerful comics can be as a storytelling medium. The book follows the lives of all-too-human “super” spies throughout WWII. The stories are touching, thoughtful, and (sometimes) a little grim. While reading, I couldn’t ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14924374">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This graphic novel does a really excellent job at getting into the psychology of being a spy. How this career choice or lifestyle influences your psyche. It does this by several mini-stories based around WWII. I fully recommend this book to anyone. (I guess not small children.)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I would have liked this book more if I'd had time to read it in one sitting.  The stories shift through time so the story only pieces itself together towards the end.
