This collection of short stories in graphic novel form are true to Bradbury's reputation. The stories brought me to different sometimes strange, sometimes scary new worlds and told me truths about myself and my world.
Five (authorized) adaptations of Bradbury stories as graphic short stories, outstanding: "Dark they were and Golden-Eyed" by Kent Williams and John van Fleet, "The Dragon" by Segrelles and "I, Robot" by Al Williamson. Also includes "The Golden Apples of the Sun" by P Craig Russell, "The Toynbee Convector" by Ray Zone, "Marionettes, Inc" by Ralph Reese.
