This was recommend from the podcast the Indoor Kids and they were not wrong.

Locke and Key is a great story, a more mature story than what you'd normally get from Marvel or DC. This is the second volume , I recommend starting with the 1st, and if you read the first, why are you reading this review?

I think it is pretty challenging to find children's books that are well written and have beautiful artwork. This book has both. I read the first page and was fascinated enough to read through the entire thing before sitting down to read it with my younger kids. My older ones picked it up and read it on their own. We all loved it!

The artwork is incredible and the story was fun, fitting Lando well. Yes, it is a bit short, but every page of artwork is beautiful, so I can forgive it for that. I plan to complete my collection of this series.

Side note: I bought the first 2 issues from a comic store, so that's why I'm not a "verified" purchase.

This graphical comic is just beautiful. The story and metaphor are beautiful, as well as the drawings .. actually the drawings are uncredibly well done and each of them (even the less significant ones) could be used as prints. I was expecting to be a bit bored, since there is no text, but honestly no text is needed and the drawings say it all.
Higly recommended!!!!

The story and artwork are amazing!!  Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I really hope this can be the first in a series. I really hope the story continues. Loved the artwork and 3 color scheme.

The artwork is great and really brings a new element to a book I've read too many times to count.

I enjoyed this collection of stories. I will say, some are better than others, but there are so many, and the artwork is so well done, that reading them was very enjoyable.

I bought this mainly for the artwork, and it did not disappoint. It's a fantastic book, and a great inspiration.

I love post-apocalyptic books and I was not disappointed with this one.  This is the first graphic novel I've ever read so it took a bit of adjusting to it, but I soon started enjoying it.  The other reviewers have very accurately described the basics of the story so I won't delve into that, but to say that it kept my attention throughout.  What I was really impressed with was the artwork.  I looked at each frame carefully while reading the characters were saying so I would fully enjoy it.  When I say the artwork is good, it is very good.  On page 36, at the very beginning of chapter 9, is illustrated an aerial view of a very decayed Niourk.  It's very realistic looking, at least to me.

Overall, it's a great graphic novel, and I feel it is fine for kids to read despite some of the near nudity of some of the characters.  Kids will love looking at those pictures quite a bit as they enjoy the story.

I'm reading Batman for the first time and starting here was a great decision. The artwork in the book is fantastic and the story is interesting. Would definitely recommend this.

We got the book from our library and will be purchasing a copy, we loved it so much. It is so well written and the artwork is stunning. I have always been a fan of owls and thought I knew much about them.... but I learned much more reading this.

The artwork in this book is amazing.  The paper is usual createspace, a little thin but the pages are one sided.  I had no problem with blending prismacolors with mineral spirits as long as i put in a piece of paper so the page behind didn't get wet.  If you like the kind of artwork in this book, it is more than worth every penny.

The artwork and story are superb. I loaned the book to a friend and can't wait to get it back to reread and look at each image again.

The artwork is absolutely wonderful. And the story behind it as well, I'm craving the next volume for Twilight Princess and have already pre ordered it. :)

The artwork in this book by Greg Hildebrandt is beautiful in its use of color and light, and it has great fantasy themes.  His work can at times be kitschy, but I don't mean that in a bad way.  By ignoring stuffy conventions about what makes great art, he has really put his own personality and feeling into the art.  A wide variety of sources have been included as examples of his art: personal paintings of his children, advertising, commissions for collectors, posters, calendars, books, etc.  This makes it fascinating and valuable to me as another artist.  The only negative aspect of this book is that half the text (not by Greg) is very pretentious and vague, in a "dark and stormy night" kind of way.  Just ignore that and read the rest of the text, where Greg gives insight into his history and techniques.  Or just look at the beautiful pictures.

Great, imaginative story with life lessons included.  Very good format that 'tied' in with the story line and, of course, great artwork.
