Tattoo I actually like. October 9, 2008
Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired by Tori Amos is a very unusual and brilliant collection of illustrations based on the singer/songwriter's songs. I am a huge Tori fan and this is a great idea to say the least, the artists who worked on this book really put their heart and soul into this unique project. I highly recommend it, your eyes won't believe it!

This coffee table-sized book is a collection of graphic short stories modeled after Tori Amos songs. If you're expecting literal treatment you may be in for disappointment but if you're willing to go along for the authors'/artists' ride, you may enjoy.
A great idea and a great collection! September 24, 2008

I got very excited when I first learned that Tori Amos and Neal Gaiman were amassing a comic based on Amos' songs. The finished product does not dissapoint. Each song is a starting point for a particular artists' vision. Some follow the song lyrics, others use the lyrics or feel of the song as a departure point for a stand-alone comic. All are well drawn and well printed, a comic fan's delight. As both a comic book nerd and a long-time Tori fan (I still have a cassette copy of Earthquakes somewhere) I recommend this book.

It's a great effort, however I find most of the story-telling very conventional. And a lot of the artwork more poor than expected given the beautiful cover. For me there were only a few artist that really caught my eye. The boys for Pele story, The flying dutchman, Honey, I can't see New York and Past the Mission. They were more boldy and unconventionally executed than the rest.
I guess I'm not a great comic book fan and rather read a good book anyday over this.
Everybody interprets Tori's music in their own way and I guess no comic book can surpass the images I have in my mind listening to her music.
But it's still a very enjoyable book.
3 stars.
