Over on Comics Reporter it looks like Tom approves of the rather splendid Yesterday’s Tomorrows collection by Rian Hughes: “Hughes has an angular style that derives color and shading not from some sort of inherent vibrancy of the figures but from the key placement of light sources. His overall style may remind some of a commercial art style, but one successful folded over into comics — think Richard Sala or even Seth for comparable crossover success in terms of making the comics work as comics despite pages that are fun to look at and admire.”

I got one of these, and was particularly pleased to see I got number 6! It really is a super book, and an admirable addition to any bookshelf.
