I read some of the stories and it just felt like something was missing-to me. It almost seemed as though they were incomplete. I wasn't a big fan of the artwork, but I thought I would easily be exposed to more Bradbury works by checking out this graphic novel. Big hint-didn't help. Like I said, didn't like the artwork. "Come Into My Cellar" and "A Sound of Thunder" were the better drawn. Some of them had artwork that was just as confusing as the story. "A Piece of Wood" and "Picasso Summer" were just skippable. I could not get around the drawing. It's okay if you've never read this stuff and want to imagine it as someone else would, but this just was not my forte.

The artwork is terrific and I enjoyed the variety of styles, but none of the tales rank among my favorites of Bradbury's work.

I love his stories but they are rarely as effective in a visual format. Despite some excellent artwork, this edition is no exception. It is also flawed by the dialogue at the edge or bottom of the page sometimes being cut off. Come on - amateur mistake!

I like reading Ray Bradbury, so it was cool to see some of his shorts stories in graphic novel format.

I was a bit skeptical about these classics being turned visual, but the artwork from different artists is all wonderful, and each artist adds a particular flavor to each story. I'm glad I have this one in print.

A couple of the stories deserved 5's, but the majority of them were kind of lame. So, overall, I will give this volume an "okay".

This is a graphic novel of about ten stories by Ray Bradbury, and adapted by different artists. There were some obscure stories, as well as some classic stories, which was great because I haven't previously read all the stories. The stories included, were all adapted from the original stories to fit the graphic format, and they did a good job. It started off a little slow with "A Sound of Thunder," because that story has been told so many times, in many different forms. But, the book picks up steam after that, and I finished the rest of the book very fast. A fun alternative for Bradbury fans, and the artwork was all very good. This made for a good combination!

Great adaptations of many of the best of Ray Bradbury's short stories by many great graphic novel artists.

I've been a fan of Ray Bradbury since grade school so, when I found this at my local library I may have squealed in glee (quietly of course, I WAS in a library). The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it doesn't include some of my favorite stories; for instance, I would have have chosen to include 'Usher II' from The Martian Chronicles (That one has always begged to be given the graphic novel treatment). Despite that though the book is great and the artists involved did wonderful jobs!

I really like the idea behind this. There is a good selection of artists, but some of the stories were boring. Between the flat stories and some formatting issues, I was left underwhelmed.

I love Ray Bradbury. Love him. His stuff is still potent, all these years later.

This collection of shorts has been lovingly adapted to graphic novel format, and almost all are wonderful. It's both a familiar journey through stories I've known since adolescence and a visual feast, with a collection of variant artistic perspectives lighting up Bradbury's brilliant concepts.

4.25. Good stuff.
