Juku: A Comics Band presents JUKU: A COMICS ALBUM -- the world's first comics album, a thick hunk of a book that is to an ordinary comic what a full CD album is to a three-minute single. The five members of the comics band Juku present a 244-page anthology containing nine diverse, entertaining "tracks" -- nine all-original stories ranging from quick comedic shorts to mystery to epic battles of good against evil, with endearing tales of everyday life in between. And, at only $10.95 (all comics, no ads or filler copy!) JUKU is by far the best value in comics today. JUKU: A COMICS ALBUM is a whole new concept in comics -- an album sure to please even the most discriminating tastes.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A lot of love went into this, and the result is charming!,
By Greg Wicker (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Juku: A Comics Album (Paperback)
This collaborative work by five longtime manga artists and fans shows that hard work and patience does indeed pay off in the end. This book is a collection of eight separate stories by five artists. There's a little something for everyone here: action, tongue-in-cheek humor, romance, and more!The gems of this collection are Shaindle Minuk's "Holly's Father," a holiday story that takes a peek into the private lives of a fifties' Hollywood family, and Bruce Lewis' "It Happened in Seventh Grade." Lewis' recollection of a cherished event in his childhood is made more heartfelt by his simple-but-fully-recognizable drawing style. The other stories included are an exciting detective story...IN SPACE...by David Merrill, quick cute textless vignettes from Ed Hill, a surprisingly twisted parody of two popular Japanese icons by Dan Baker, and one of Bruce Lewis' epic war stories, "Dairooster 5!" Definitely recommended!

Vim vigor and tonic,

Great variety - especially in the art styles, tone and energy - will keep you looking forward to each story. The stories themselves are very interesting. Whether it's epic battle, insightful character work, humorous genre pieces, or even abstracted explorations, these artists did a wonderful job. I can't wait for the sequel!

Couldn't put it down!,
By LC3 (Cumming, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Juku: A Comics Album (Paperback)
A fun book. Lots of sillyness, a little romance, a little drama, all from a fan based perspective. The high point was the film noir/50's sci-fi murder mystery, "Hazzard Von Braun, Astronaut Detective". Purposfully campy, definitely fun. It's a thick book and a good read. Highly recommended!
