...First covered by TIME.comix in 2001, when volume one appeared, you can see improvements even over that fine debut. Primarily Heuet has cut down on the prose and given us more to look at. His highly detailed costumes and backgrounds have the sumptuousness of a Merchant and Ivory movie. This book in particular, with its lovely views of the French seaside, provides much to please the eye. The pictures perfectly compliment the dreamy, poetic text. A typical line by the narrator sums up the pleasures of this book: "I was attempting to find beauty where I'd never thought...
Reading about and watching the poignant new PBS documentary about his life (co-produced and co-directed by Time Inc.'s Bennett Singer and scheduled for national broadcast on Jan. 20) and reading his prose, one is struck by a central, inspiring fact. Rustin never wavered in his belief in true racial integration. He saw the civil rights movement not as a protest against America or an indictment of it but as a way for America to live up to its own principles.

...what Emmett is doing in his early-morning idylls is learning to love the trivia of daily existence--and he finds some of his life's missing meaning there. Baker doesn't just show us this: his prose is so luminescent and so precise it manually recalibrates our brains, so that as we read, we learn to see the way Emmett sees and find the beauty he finds. By the end of A Box of Matches, Emmett is a different person: a better, happier, more observant person. You just might find that you're one too. --By Lev Grossman
...head is splintered, "Inside it's as tidy and rich as Fort Knox." At the end, in a sad twist the final panel shows Gorilla behind bars with David, calling him, "the best roommate a fella could want." This sort of visual editorial is what separates comix memoir from prose. But while Paul Karasik does a nice enough job of relating his brother's illness, his approach seems conservative compared to last year's intensely ambitious and beautiful "Epileptic," by David B. Also a memoir about a brother's mental illness, "Epileptic" dared to go beyond exploring the brother...
...Written in a visual language that would otherwise have taken up thousands of words of prose, comix allow not only for a more efficient and less expensive approach to memoir, but a richer one as well. "Ride Together" and "Tuesday" are just two fine examples of this arguably superior method of relating personal history...
