Originally published as a limited edition hardcover, the beautiful Yesterday's Tomorrows features the clean stylings of acclaimed graphic illustrator Rian Hughes. With five comic book stories -- two by [a:Grant Morrison|12732|Grant Morrison|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1262720277p2/12732.jpg] including the controversial post-modern interruption of the iconic Dan Dare, an adaptation of [a:Raymond Chandler|1377|Raymond Chandler|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1206535318p2/1377.jpg]'s "Goldfish," and two over-the-top 50s-infused science fiction stories -- and a sketchbook of designs, trading cards, covers, and pin ups, Hughes demonstrates his mastery over different genres and techniques. While the writing quality of the various tales wavers, the uniqueness of Hughes' gorgeous vision remains impressive. At the affordable price of $24.99 for 264 full color pages, Yesterday's Tomorrows is a welcome addition to any graphic novel or science fiction collection. (
