5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, magical, excellent, and surreal!, November 11, 1998
This review is from: Black And White, Volume 1 (Paperback)
This book is simply wonderful. Though the story might be somewhat stereotypical, the art and characters redeem it. The art is a strange hybrid of Japanese and French styles. The characters are really touching, Black and the way he protects the retarted White, and White with his happy, almost microcephalic observations and attitude. I can't wait to read volume two, and I bet once you read volume one, you won't be able to wait either. Well worth the price of admission.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, wonderful, magical, must read book!!!!!, November 2, 1998
This review is from: Black And White, Volume 1 (Paperback)
This book is one of the best examples of a graphic novel I've ever had the privilage to read. The art is surreal, and the story is magnificent. It's what Of Mice and Men should have been. The characters, even if stereotypical, are very touching, especially White. You really get a feel for them. Read this book. It's well worth the price of admission.

This review is from: Black And White, Volume 1 (Paperback)
It all comes together. The line quality is in itself endlessly diverting. The vision of the city and its technology and architecture is totally unique. The story... the fabulous, ass-kicking flying boy-hoodlums with hearts of gold, perching atop telephone poles and living in an abandoned car... a techno-post-modern peter pan cast in a deliciously not-anime Tokyo ghetto. These 3 books are incredible. Don't miss them.
