A fun look back at the early art of the series and some of the thoughts behind the color spreads. The interviews at the end were a nice bonus.
A collection of the color walk art done by Eiichiro Oda, this is primarily all art pieces with snippets of author commentary in-between chapters. I liked the Early Days which includes his old drawings of pirates. You can see similarities in character design with a gun slinger proto Zolo, mecha-armed Nami with a battle axe and Chopper as a tall, limber swordsman on traditional geta sandals (and an immensely wide spread pair of antlers). My favorite were the Monochrome Talk interviews at the end with other authors Akira Toriyama, half of the duo Fujiko Fujio (Motoo Abiko), and Yoshitaka Amano.

This compendium covers the first three color walks drawn by the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda. While the individual color walks were released in Japan, this is the first time that color walks 1, 2, and 3 have been released in English. This is primarily an art book, with color spreads you Oda shown in chronological order in a beautifully created hardcover book.
The art is great to look at, and one of my favorite things to observe with Oda’s work is his take on perspective. The contrast between foreground and background is especially prominent in many of the color spreads.
If you are a fan of One Piece or enjoy anime/manga art style, then this should just be an automatic buy. What are you waiting for?
