Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired By Tori Amos (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I was able to get one of the limited edition copies, signed by The Goddess herself. I think there is some audience for the book if one is not strictly a Tori fan. When the story more closely matched what I felt the song was about, then I loved it (like Merman or Girl) but when they were too experimental or only riffed on one line of the song I didn't like them so much. I think if you are a true comic book fan or a EWF (and if you are one, you know what that means) then, by all means, buy it. I think just as much satisfaction can be derived from the paper copy than the expensive leather-bound copy at over $300. Good paper copies can be had used for very little money. I said I didn't like comics. I take it back!Ever since Tori Amos was revealed to me at age 17, I've been her faithful fan, she's definitely the musician that's made most of an impact on me. What attracted me to her music, aside from the rockin' piano, was her lyrics, the like of which I've never seen before (or ever since for that matter). Sometimes quirky and obscure, sometimes rudely (and crudely) straightforward, a very strange, refreshing mix. With Tori I think, either you get it, or you don't (no inbetweens), and her lyrics are open for interpretation.In Comic Book Tattoo, several comic artists have been given free reins to interpret Tori Amos' songs, how they've seen it fit. This is a collection of many different art styles, and many little masterpieces. It only adds to the music, I think.Absolutely wonderful.I love comics now.
