Amazing book! I anticipated the arrival of the hardcover copy of Comic Book Tattoo on amazon.com for a couple weeks...once it arrived I immediately ordered it. Once I finally got it, I was amazed! It was greater than I expected...weighing in at a few pounds, beautiful 12" pages, and wonderfully rich stories. All inspired by the magnificent songs by Tori Amos. Of course, most Tori fans would deeply appreciate this book, but fans of comic books would also appreciate it too. I highly recommend the hardcover edition, as it could be a coffee table book!
Tattoo I actually like. Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired by Tori Amos is a very unusual and brilliant collection of illustrations based on the singer/songwriter's songs. I am a huge Tori fan and this is a great idea to say the least, the artists who worked on this book really put their heart and soul into this unique project. I highly recommend it, your eyes won't believe it!
Imaginative - You'll Have to Decide If It's Tori This coffee table-sized book is a collection of graphic short stories modeled after Tori Amos songs. If you're expecting literal treatment you may be in for disappointment but if you're willing to go along for the authors'/artists' ride, you may enjoy.
A great idea and a great collection! I got very excited when I first learned that Tori Amos and Neal Gaiman were amassing a comic based on Amos' songs. The finished product does not dissapoint. Each song is a starting point for a particular artists' vision. Some follow the song lyrics, others use the lyrics or feel of the song as a departure point for a stand-alone comic. All are well drawn and well printed, a comic fan's delight. As both a comic book nerd and a long-time Tori fan (I still have a cassette copy of Earthquakes somewhere) I recommend this book.
Feast for the eyes! Beautiful book for Tori fans and likewise. Great to see many songs illustrated through the talents of so many great comic artists.
