5.0 out of 5 stars Vess at his best, May 4 2004

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Vess has been doing wonderful comics for years. This is work ca. 1990, with some copyrighted earlier, and it's not even his "early" work.

It is, however, the best demonstration I know of Vess' versatility as a comic artist. Most of the brief stories are black and white pen drawings, the style for which I know him best. Other pieces are tonal, with much less emphasis on line. Yet other pieces show Vess as a colorist and a good one. His recent opera work tends toward pastel colors, but the "Fire's Kin" story is full of varied and saturated hues. Very few other comic artists seem able to sustain such high quality imagery in so many different ways.

Vess has been doing great work for so long that a lot of it is out of print now. It's a pity because, as these stories show, he's being doing skilled, distinctive work for decades. If you like Vess' art and stories and you ever find a copy of "Book of Night" at a reasonable price, considering buying it. If nothing else, you may be surprised at the longevity of this outstanding comic artist.
