An anthology of comics taken from Bradbury stories, all of them with forgettable storylines and sometimes downright silly prose and with cringe-making prefaces by Bradbury himself. I'm keeping the book nonetheless because three of the five artists have illustrated the pieces with fetchingly atmospheric pictures and, especially, very pleasing colouring.
(Later: Indeed I did keep it. But only for a while.)
