Reviews

[Sheherazahde · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a rather strange book. Tony Hendra has taken the paintings of Roy Lichtenstein and arranged them into a comic book. There is a certain irony, or possibly just a post-modern sensibility to that.

[Rachel Stevenson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun comic book about an artist who finds his love when an unfortunate event occurs.

It was okay, easy read kinda fun.
