Book Review: Seekers comics anthology
Seekers is a comics anthology featuring short stories and illustrations from 22 Chinese comic artists and illustrators.
This is a very thick hardcover. The cover is not pasted to the spine of the book so that allows the book to open flat. All text is in Chinese.
Highlight of the book is the variety of styles and storytelling techniques featured. Some comics were drawn with great detail while others are more straightforward. Regardless of how the art was drawn, they look good enough to serve the stories. The style is mostly in Asian manga style. There are a few artists with very illustrative and painterly style and those really stand out.
As for the stories, well, they are short so don't expect deep character development. These are just short stories to feature the work of these artists.
The Chinese title is 稀客.
The book's priced at SGD $45 and is available at Basheer Graphic Books here in Singapore. While stocks last.
