There is a really interesting review of the new book 'Pictures and words:New comic art and narrative illustration' by Roanne Bell and Mark Sinclair over on Pete's site. The cover is by Tom Gauld and looks a lot like a flyer he designed for There Goes Tokyo...(the printing/publishing company me and Andy started up) a few years ago.
The review is interesting to me because Pete covers some interesting points about comics and art, which used to be a real issue for me during my BA. I'm going to have to read this book myself at some point, seeing as it relates to my subject field, I'm hoping to enjoy it even just for the pictures, but it might throw up some new ideas and avenues too. I had seen a review of it elsewhere and thought that it mightn't be worth my money, but now I think I'll give it a go. And as Pete mentioned, it has a kick-ass cover.
