Vic Lee’s Corona Diary 2020: A personal illustrated journal of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 – Vic Lee

28/12/202028/12/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

I think over the next six to twelve months we’re going to be seeing more of this kind of thing, diaries detailing the events of 2020 and the personal impact they’ve had upon the authors, or self-help books designed around surviving 2021 because, and let’s be brutally honest here, this is not going away any […]

Rogue Planet – Cullen Bunn, Andy MacDonald, Nick Filardi

02/12/202002/12/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

When the heavily in debt crew of the salvage vessel happen upon a distress beacon coming from the planet “Lonely Orphan” which has no solar system to call home, things don’t work out the way they hoped in this sci-fi horror comic from Oni Press. The book opens up aboard the Cortes as the crew […]

Kusama: A Graphic Biography – Elisa Macellari

23/09/202023/09/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Yayoi Kusama is an artist that I wasn’t aware that I knew, I’d seen pictures of some of her work in the tome-like books that were in the rooms I took GCSE Art & Design, I remember seeing pictures of her mirrored balls, and yet I’d never retained her name. It was only through reading […]

Odessa – Jonathan Hill

15/07/202015/07/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Odessa, like last week’s Eden, leaves me in a difficult spot, it’s enjoyable but largely forgettable. It tells the story of an America that’s literally been torn in two by an earthquake, and within that is the story of a family in search of their Mother, though things end in this volume before they find […]

The Kingdom of the Gods – In-wan You, Eun-hee Kim & Kyung-il Yang

08/04/202019/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

It seems a bit, well, off, to be discussing a zombie apocalypse story amongst the current COVID-19 pandemic, where over a third of the worlds population (at the time of writing) are in some kind of lockdown. But hey, thats where we’re at. The Kingdom of the Gods is the Manwha (Korean Manga) that the […]

Asterix in Britain – René Goscinny & Albert Uderzo

01/04/202019/04/2020 Duane Weatherall 1 Comment

When Close Encounters posted on the Books With Pictures Facebook group page that we were going to be reading an Asterix book, I’m not going to lie, I had two thoughts, the first was “but isn’t that a kids book”, then it was “wow, I’ve not read one of those since Year 8” and it […]

We3 – Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely

22/01/202019/04/2020 Duane Weatherall

This month’s Books WITH Pictures pick was We3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely through Vertigo. It’s a book I’ll honestly admit I’ve never even heard of so my expectations going in were all over the place, especially as I flicked through it on the bus home before I sat down to read through it […]

Akira Volume 1 – Katsuhiro Otomo

22/11/201920/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Way back in July I wrote about the reasons I was glad that the Hollywood movie of Akira had been put on hold (though it’s still in the works), this time out I’m taking a direct look at volume 1 of Katsuhiro Otomo’s manga as its the book we’ve discussed in “Books with Pictures” this […]
