4.5 stars. A true opus, this book compiles much of Campbell's life's work - by which I also mean the works are about his life. The art of storytelling is apparent, including the choice of where to begin, as he says, the exact moment he found his artistic voice. I always find the choices, and sharing the process with the readers, to be a welcome addition to whatever I am reading.

One of the finest comic bios I've ever read. Though some of the books suffer a little bit from a slight pretentiousness (I'm looking at you, How to Be An Artist), it's overall absolutely worth reading, especially for anybody interested in how comics work.

Səhifələrdə 9 yox, daha az panel olsaydı, yəqin ki, daha çox bəyənərdim. Fuck! Komiks yox, roman oxuyurdum elə bil ki. -_- Ya normal roman yaz, ya da normal komiks çək də. Bu nədir eee?

Probably best known for his collaboration with [a:Alan Moore|3961|Alan Moore|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1182935774p2/3961.jpg] on the extraordinary [b:From Hell|23529|From Hell|Alan Moore|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167428110s/23529.jpg|191464], Eddie Campbell, serving as both writer and artist, first gained acclaim for Alec, the thinly-veiled autobiographical adventures of a Scottish artist. Alec: The Years Have No Pants collects all of the very frank, often humorous previously published tales plus a new story. While all the stories showcase Campbell's distinctive art, the highlight of this impressive book derives from the evolution of the artist. Midway through the 638 page volume, the realization dawns that Eddie Campbell may be one of the field's most accomplished storytellers. Alec: The Years Have No Pants belongs in all finer graphic novel collections.
