![]() ![]() ![]() I prefer the 1930s reviewer who said "Lawrence has a novelist's eye for detail, a poet's command of the language, an adventurer's heart, a soldier's great story and his memory and intellect are at least as good as all those". Seven Pillars has been called a novel travelling under the cover of autobiography. ![]() The version I reviewed five years ago was so savagely abridged, you only really got the facts, and facts weren't TE's strong suit. More than half the articles in my latest Talking Newspapers Digest are about the Middle East – what better reason to listen to a new unabridged version of this monumental account of the author's leading role in that earlier historic desert campaign, which made him one of the great legendary heroes of all time. Seven Pillars of Wisdom by TE Lawrence, read by Roy McMillan (Naxos, 25hrs unabridged, £65)Īlmost a century after the first Arab spring – the 1916-18 revolt against the Ottoman empire, culminating in the triumphant capture of Damascus – modern Arabia is still a war zone. ![]()

It’s a bio-electronic package intended to create super soldiers, developed, but untested until stolen and provided to domestic terrorists. ![]() While not obvious at first, these discussions cleverly feed into the fundamental problem of the technology supplying the title. ![]() In the early stages Ellis challenges the limitations of Stark’s conceptual mind, first via a crusading journalist (a very thinly disguised John Pilger), then via a technological engineer less inclined to work for the establishment. This remains Ellis’ only Iron Man material, and if some of what he introduced has been absorbed and recycled into common currency, and some surpassed by technological progress, there’s more than enough remaining residue of thought, consideration and innovation. The resulting Extremis, is considered among the finest Iron Man graphic novels, and also generated a prose novel. When Marvel needed to re-boot their ailing Iron Man title in 2005 they gave Warren Ellis a call. Review by Karl Verhoven Spoilers in review ![]() ![]() ![]() You'll find a lot of interesting stuff regarding clashes with his artistic vision for the manga and film at that time. He talks about everything from his thoughts on drawing covers, which he dislikes, and drawing Nausicaa (character) out of character, which he dislike even more. ![]() There's plenty of accompanying commentary for the art. ![]() Since I've the other art book as well, I see a bit of duplication of drawings, but printed in different sizes. If you remove the dust jacket, you'll see some of the Animage covers that have been published.įor the film section, there are storyboards, background concept art and character designs. Very beautiful and feels very different from the mainstream manga with the use of watercolour. The covers are printed huge, often fullpage. There aren't any comic panels but you'll see a lot of covers, such as those he did for Animage, a Japanese anime and entertainment magazine. ![]() This one collects all the art created using watercolour for both the manga and film.Ībout half of the book is on the manga.
