{{newreview
|author=Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell
|title=The From Hell Companion
|rating=4.5
|genre=Graphic Novels
|summary=[[:Category:Alan Moore|Alan Moore]] will always be synonymous with two major books – [[Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons|Watchmen]] and From Hell, his look at the Whitechapel Murders. While the latter may appear to many to be a great, galumphing graphic novel loosely about Jack the Ripper, you ain't seen nothing yet. This volume is his illustrator [[:Category:Eddie Campbell|Eddie Campbell's]] look at proceedings, and for a book that would appear to have no actual Moore input in it, he provides a welter of words for it.

|summary=A confession. If there's one book I'm not likely to read, it's that which everyone else is reading. If it turns into a hugely popular film for all the left-wing chattering classes to rave over, then that's just more grist to my mill – I'll always have a chance to catch up on it later on, even if I never take that opportunity. I'm not alone in acting like this – see a friend and colleague's similar admission when reviewing [[White Teeth by Zadie Smith]]. But at least, through the medium of the graphic novel, the book reviewing gods have conspired to let me see just what I'm missing, with this adaptation, by Italian artists, of a hugely successful – and therefore delayable – novel.

|author=Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner
|title=The Comic Strip Big Fat Book of Knowledge
|rating=5
|genre=Graphic Novels
|summary=Who doesn't like a nice comic, eh? There's something so accessible about the lovely picture and text combos, and facts are far from dull when they come via speech bubbles, don't you think? Taking full advantage of this fact, Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner have, for some time, been creating factual books for children which pass on their insight and Important Information through the medium of comics. Now for the first time, you can collect 3 of their titles in one simple volume. Combining the previous reviewed [[The Comic Strip History of the World by Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner|History of the World]] and [[The Comic Strip History of Space by Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner|History of Space]] with the ''Greatest Greek Myths''
