Comments on: The Graveyard Book http://www.dejafu.com/2009/05/11/the-graveyard-book/ A feeling that somehow, somewhere, you've been kicked in the head like this before.

I go into comic shops and find the selection dizzying -- especially since I don't know too many people who are reading them regularly and and steer me toward what's actually good. I usually leave empty handed. I’m extraordinarily picky when it comes to comics.

I had to finally give up collecting comics. Too expensive and carrying them everywhere was a pain. Although the trades for Marvel's Ultimate line keep tempting me. -K I really meant illustrations in a novel, rather than graphic novels themselves. I had to finally give up collecting comics.

Honestly, I found them kind of distracting on the Kindle. It's one area when going from text to a picture and back to text doesn't quite feel normal. -K Just enough to call it an “illustrated” book, but nowhere near the amount found in a regular picture book.

I was considering getting this on Kindle, but I didn't want to do Mr. McKean a disservice. How prevalent are the illustrations?
