"They're closing down girl land..."
Those words are from a song on the album, "Free to Be...You and Me"which came out when i was but a wee laddy.  The words to this song very strongly came to mind while I was reading this book.
I love this book.  No two ways about it.  Not only is it informative, but it's funny, it's light, and it has great artwork.  I think the thing about this book that appeals to me the most is how is shows that "femininity" and the rigid reinforcement of can often lead to ridiculous things (such as Victorian fashion).  I especially like the ending of this book because it shows that while Amelia Bloomer eventually stopped wearing her bloomers, she triumphed after all.  This is a great book for young kids of both sex, so make sure little boys get to read it too.

This story is very well-written and the characters are nicely fleshed out despite the short length of the tale. You really get to love them quickly (except for the bad guy, of course). And the art, which is on pretty much every page, is just wonderful! It definitely adds to the great story. All in all, I have really enjoyed this book and I think you will too.

My husband and I love this art piece!  Colors are great and good quality materials!  The art in person looks just like it did online.  We are very pleased with this product and will use this company to order art from in the future!

Gil Kane's awesome art is done to justice in this oversize book with original comic art pages. The other books in this series are equally grand. It's cool seeing the notes in the margins and the blue lines with sketching. For even more kicks, compare the pages to your own copies of the published comics! Highly recommended!!

This book is amazing!  The paintings are gorgeous and the way they fit together is very clever.  I can see this working well as a coffee table book for adults (to be honest, I originally tried to get it as a gift for my adult cousin but it never made it out of our house).  My five-year old son LOVES reading it and has been asking for nothing else for the last week straight.  The combination of different beasts can be quite funny and the images are memorable.  The constantly recombined names are also good reading practice for a kid who is working on sounding out words.  Although we just got it, I see this becoming a beloved book for years to come.

This book is full of art that is an illusion such as a painting that looks like a boy is walking out of it and a wall painted to look like a you could walk into it to another place.  It also describes how illusions work and how to create them yourself.  There are some classic examples such as the endless staircase and the duck/rabbit, but there are many modern examples.  The book also shows some unusual and unexpected art from around the world.

This book was great fun.  My only wish was that it could have been a little longer.  This is the type of book where you could stare at each page in fascination for ages and ages before turning to the next one.  The fact that it shows how to make your own art illusions makes it perfect for the younger and curious crowd.  This is also an excellent book for budding artists due to the art concepts taught (such as perspective).  I highly recommend this book for the coffee table, for the classroom, and for just plain fun.
Ages 8 and up would get the most enjoyment out of the more difficult concepts.

Great book. Not just boring art, but there's added humor as well! Makes it even more fun to read

I found the author in the Artists Alley of New York Comic Con and liked her art after looking her sketches, but I did not feel like buying prints and then noticed her book, and thought I'd rather get a comic book from an artist with more content than just a print and took a gamble.

I decided to purchase it and I read it on my way home and I have to say, awesome buy!

The author told me these comics are originally parts of her web comics drawn only in black and white, but were water colored for this book. Everything looks very beautiful and colorful, and every story has its own sort of tone to it.

After reading each story, you are left wanting more, so I'm probably going to continue reading on her web comic.

It seems for people of all ages and kids would really enjoy it.  Whether or not that type of story is your thing, the art is REALLY nice to look at, so it can be cool just have the book for that reason only.

I liked the extra pages with art sketches and sequences, that was also a nice addition increasing the value.

I got this for my mom and she loves it! I looked through the book with her, and it is simple packed with fantastic art. I might have to buy one for myself too.

Just WOW! The awesome artwork - edgy and exciting - and amazing story with its dark and humorous spins meld together in the first of many volumes to come. I love the direction this comic is taking and I'm looking forward to the next volume. Kudos to the artist!
