I’m with Graeme. I agree with you, Richard, that the law of diminishing returns applies to some degree and I found volume 2 fractionally less wonderful than volume 1, but truly only fractionally. It’s all still fabulous stuff, and utterly gorgeous, and I too wish there were further volumes to come.

I loved Green Manor, but wish it had been collected into one volume.

The idea reminded me of a wonderful BBC Radio 4 series called Tales From The Mausoleum Club (regularly repeated on BBC7)

I couldn’t disagree more with you about not needing to read volume two Richard, both books are superb and if your major criticism is that its more of the same then you could level that fault at nearly all continuing comic books out there.

I read each little five/six page story on separate days and had a good five months between reading book one and two so maybe that gives me a different view of the work but try and think of how the work was originally shown. Imagine if we had a comic which was giving us the quality that is in the Green Manor in a weekly episode, I’m sure most people would lap up all of the stories.

I’d liked to have seen the second volume split into two smaller editions myself and I’d also wish they where making some more. The art is wonderful and the stories very imaginative. Top marks from me and I’d reckon that if you bought the first book and enjoyed it as much as Richard did it would be pretty difficult for you not to pick up the second volume.

No wonder, it's one of the wittiest comic I have read in recent times. Thanks to Cinebook for pacaking all 3 issues in 2 volumes. My review about the 1st volume is right here. http://www.comicology.in/2009/01/cinebook-green-manor-2008.html
