The book's luxuriant illustrations seem even more saturated with color, detail and atmosphere than the film. It's a beautiful and engaging fantasy. |

Gonick has done it again with a diffuse but deep excavation into early civilizations from ancient China to the Germanic tribes…aficionados of cartoon blood, backstabbing, sex and history will love this volume, and might find a place for it near their encyclopedias. |
