A Comics-ful Week

  This week I had a lot of good find and good buys. I'm happy because all of the comics that I ordered are all with me now. I have received all the Peanuts related children's books (available locally) and comic books as well. (Will do a separate post on that). The first book that I have waited for a long time was Grant Snider's work. (I have been a long time follower of his page). All his best works compiled in a book. He has this facebook page, Incidental Comics. The comic book title is The Shape of Ideas. The reviews on amazon.com were mostly positive. I like how he depicts the journey of an artist (poet, writer, cartoonist), all beautifully illustrated and shown in the book. The book is hard-bound and it is a great coffee table book. I like Mr. Snider's work. The way he draw and illustrate a person is nicely done. The price of the book is less than 1000 pesos.

The second book that I got was entitled 'Introvert Doodles' by Maureen Wilson. From the title alone, you probably know already what the book is all about. If you want to know something about the introverts you can start by reading that book.  The drawing skill of Ms. Wilson may not be like other artists who has a clean drawing lines and proportionate body shape. That's right! Her art is doodles. Reminds me of younger artists drawings. Her comics are on point.  She has a facebook page also, Introvert Doodles. I'm also a follower of her fb page.

Lastly, a local comic book entitled So Asian Comics. I like the design. I just saw their advertisement online, I ordered and voila Got it already! I just find this comics unique because it showcases the Chinese and Filipino-Chinese life. That's another reason why I want to acquire a copy of this. A Chinese culture enthusiast here! It was truly a packed comic-ful week.

Reading is truly an adventure!
