3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda skimpy, August 8, 2003

Ok, if you're going to shell out the money for this book (it is REALLY small - check out the dimensions! It's smaller than a CD!), you'd be better off investing in Hell Babies. Granted, some of the artwork in this book is not in HB, but the miniscule size hardly makes it worth purchasing. HB, on the other hand, has a great pink rubber cover and good-sized artwork. With the CF, you definitely miss out on the wicked-weird tiny details that make her art pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars If yr a huge fan . . ., February 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Collector File 002: Junko Mizuno's Illustration Book (Paperback)

than you would be kicking yrself 4 not buying it. Granted it's small but if you are a diehard fan, than it is totally worth it. You won't regret it. It has different artwork, not seen in Hell Babies. Sure it's not the same, or as proflic, but worth its cost.
