Bizarre Romance by Audrey Niffenegger
3.0
Wait, [a:Audrey Niffenegger|498072|Audrey Niffenegger|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1367342548p2/498072.jpg] and [a:Eddie Campbell|5122|Eddie Campbell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1261253995p2/5122.jpg] are married?
This is a collection of short stories written by Niffenegger and either illustrated or turned into comics by the great Campbell. Many of the stories have a fantastic, historical, or romantic turn (and often some combination of those). However, nothing really stood out for me. Part of the issue was that Campbell's artwork here often moves away from the scratchy black and white inks I adore to more use of blobs of color to outline figures. (Exceptions - and among the best stories - are "RoseRedSnowRidingBeautyShoesHoodSleepingWhite" and "Motion Studies: Getting out of Bed".) So entertaining, but not a must read.
