The Return of the Honey Buzzard<\/em>

Atmosphere just about drips off these pages. There\u2019s a haunted quality to the images in The Return of the Honey Buzzard<\/em>: lots of shadows, uncluttered panels, remote locations, and big eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mood is appropriate because the main character is haunted by an incident from his childhood, and the book builds toward this reveal. The dialogue and the drawings work seamlessly together to craft a sense of isolation and loss, crying out for a resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the pages don\u2019t contain any text at all. Especially in these places, the simple but expressive drawings do a masterful job of communicating a mood, a sequence of events, or even the passage of time. It might be surprising for a graphic novel set partly in a bookshop and partly in a library, but The Return of the Honey Buzzard<\/em> suggests that images can indeed say more than words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants have always attracted artists. Here, in one large, fat, oversized volume is a coffee-table book of the best art about plants through the ages. The variety of approaches to botany is dazzling; the creative interpretations of plants you see everyday is astounding; the views of weird and wonderful plants you did not know even existed is amazing, and the unorthodox perspectives are unbounded. It is a treasure trove, a sacred grove, of inspiration for art, design, engineering, and innovation \u2014 in short for anything you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
