Fables 10 - The Good Prince

Recently I've fallen in luv with these,- Fables comic book series, although I only has 1 out of 11 series. Fables 10- The Good Prince. Hehe, yeah i know i'm quiet so last century. Fables is a Vertigo comic book series written by the genius Mr. Bill Willingham. Well, in a rough synopsis the comic's entitled has reflected the comic's all about-fables. Bill Willingham creatively has twisted and highly exaggerated many fables stories into his own indigenous story, which has been so complex that in my humble opinion its should be re-called in a a precise term, graphic novel. Another to mention, violence includes.

How about the arts? Well, its just awesome. Fables has lots of mouth-watering and inspirational illustrations, besides damn dramatic sequential. There are several great names behind the arts, James Jean,Todd Klein, Mark Buckingham, Jill Thompson and Steve Leialoha. It takes me almost a week to absorb those arts in this comic. Burp!~ I'm totally overloaded haha...nope, I'm hunger for more! The hunt for next series has just begun!

Ignore those grammars.

MirrorMask by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean

I've juz bought this book at MPH SACC Mall Shah Alam on last weekend, and guess what? 350 pg+trade paperback+hardcover+glossy n quality print+made by 2 greatmasters and it juz cost me solid RM20! Haha great! Totally worth buying.

This is not an ordinary text written based book, but actually is an illustrated film script (storyboard) of a motion picture which the book names derived from it. In a simple word, this book is a compilation of art concepts for MirrorMask film.

MirrorMAsk is a 2005 fantasy film of James Henson Company, directed and designed by Dave McKean, and written by Neil Gaiman. Frankly, I've never watch or even heard this movie before.. hmm limited release maybe.

Taiyo Matsumoto's No 5

Some moths ago, i've managed to read and extract this unique (or can I juz say weird) manga by Taiyo Matsumoto. Taiyo Matsumoto is an influential manga artist nowadays in Japan which has been famous for his comics, namely PingPong. Thru this comic, it's obviously revealed that he has much been influenced by European comic artists styles such as Moebius.

Somes even claimed that No. 5 is one of the rarest manga in today's market. No more than 1000 copies of this manga has been sold worldwide. Anyway, thanks zillions for Mr. Karna Mustaqim for let me borrowing this...hehe.
