Praise for this book

BOOKLIST -- In intricate, wordless spreads of fantasy worlds filled with warriors, odd creatures, mysterious symbols, lushly detailed landscapes, and buildings rendered with architectural accuracy, a knight goes on a series of quests. Objects glowing with unnatural colors lead him to portals that take him to other worlds, where creation and destruction seem to loop around ad infinitum. At one point, he seems to be born again, appearing naked after a particularly destructive battle with a dragon. There are hints of a plot here: a knob on the knight's helmet resembles the crown on a bored, old king; rubble from one section reappears elsewhere; symbols recur across each episode; and so on. Each scene has such impressive depth and detail, rendered in crisp, black outlines and a jewel-toned palette, that it's easy to get lost in each spread, looking for meaningful symbols.
