Aragones at his best,
By Blake Petit "Novelist, columnist & reviewer" (Ama, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Sergio Aragones Actions Speak (Paperback)
Much as I love Aragones' "Groo" and other such comics, sometimes I think he's at his absolute best doing quick, silent gags like the ones in this book. In the sequel to "Louder Than Words," Sergio treats us to another six issues' worth of silent pages, quick jokes and punchlines. This is a book you can put down and pick up at any time, read any page by itself and crack up. Here's hoping he gets around to doing a third series soon -- although I haven't the foggiest clue what he could call it.

Funny Stuff!,
By
This review is from: Sergio Aragones Actions Speak (Paperback)
How many silent one-page gags can Sergio Aragones do before he runs out of funny ideas? Lucky for us, there appears to be no end in sight! Sergio is truly a master of his craft, and he's on top of his game with Actions Speak. I laughed a LOT, and spent an equal amount of time appreciating his deceptively simple-looking artwork. I can't recommend Actions Speak highly enough!

We Don't Need Words To Laugh Out Loud!,

This review is from: Sergio Aragones Actions Speak (Paperback)
Back in the sixties, when I was a reader of Mad magazine, there were these little wordless cartoons on the side of pages of the regular features. These tiny little cartoons were the work of Sergio Aragones, and they were well worth seeking out (with a sharp eye, or a good set of eye glasses!) In later years Sergio, would at last have full pages devoted to his work, but for me those early tiny cartoons almost hidden amoungst the pages of Mad, were well-worth the eye-strain.
This book is like seeing those ever so small, cartoons all over again. And, now I can at last see them properly! Sergio, has been doing this style of cartooning for 50 years now, and he is a master of this art. In a single page, there are some very complex stories being devolped here. No words are needed, as this is: 'sight' comedy of the highest degree. This book, is for all ages, but as a reader of Mad magazine for over four decades, it is a special treat to still be able to laugh at the works of this comic master today. I will be searching out the other books by Sergio Aragones, he is a gift to the comic medium. FIVE STARS !!!
