3.5/5 stars. If you like the Plants vs. Zombies franchise, as I do, then you want to check out this book of gorgeous artwork from it. The art ranges from early sketches to full-color artwork, and some of the book is written from the zombie point of view. Really cute; fun for a collector or fan of PvsZ.

Collecting the first four issues of the infamous pre-code crime comic, this full color hardcover collection of lurid tales features work by some the era's finest artists including [a:Charles Biro|4667209|Charles Biro|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg], Woody Hamilton, Harry Lucey, Carl Hubbell, Bob Montana, George Tuska, Dick Wood, [a:Dick Briefer|951054|Dick Briefer|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1300075825p2/951054.jpg], Frank Giacoia, Bob Wood, and Dan Barry. Most importantly, the volume contains Biro's grotesque covers that even today would be considered disturbing. One such illustration features a man forcing a woman's head onto a lit stove, igniting her hair. For the most part, the unflinching true crime stories themselves read well and are magnificently illustrated. The book's main flaw lies not with the original Crime Does Not Pay comics but rather the Dark Horse presentation. Beyond the brief [a:Matt Fraction|61382|Matt Fraction|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1252292636p2/61382.jpg] foreword, the archive offers little in the way of background material. The back cover and Fraction allude to the series being "partially responsible for the creation of the stifling Comics Code Authority," but not the hows and whys. No backgrounds or biographies of any of the creators are included. Nor the origin of the title or concept. Also, the series started with issue #22. Why? What title preceded it? (For the completist out there, it bore the title Silver Streak Comics for the first 21 issues.) Establishing historical context elevates any collection of older works and in a $50 volume, these facts often justify the price.… (altro)

I enjoyed these 3 comics.

The Avatar story is short and well written. A day at the circus is always fun! They team the physical motions of martial arts and Rumble, Whud and Wacks, as they take on the fire bender. Yes, it is good they became acrobats when taking on the 'big one'. This has a very good and uniting message!

I really wasn't expecting to like the Plants vs. Zombies comic at all. But, the fact is that the zombies are afraid of scary movies and that is probably why they want to scare humans. The bucket hat and time out corner sign were funny and the images were more quirky than scary - to this adult.

A young costumed (ink -washed) Bandette acquires d'art while skipping and twirling herself across the rooftops of Paris. I like Bandette! She has a taste for candy bars, loves a challenge and is pretty comfortable on the back of a scooter. It's a fun read, especially, with the french accent.

I received a free copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

I think everyone who played - and enjoyed - one or more of the Plants vs Zombies games will also enjoy this book. I really liked the drawings.

It's not really a story, but it shows art (what's in a title) and a lot of sketches of zombies and plants alike, with commentary from the Zombies. (Beware some anti-plant propaganda, and more talk about brains than is accepted in everyday conversation) They talk you trough the 'war'; but as always happens, only covering the glorious victories...

Also included are title-ideas that didn't make it; my favourite: Rest in Peas?
