I read a review about Chris Reynolds in the Comics Journal. The review totally got me curious about the Monitor and Chris's other works. So when I found The Dial and Other Stories in a shop in Austin, TX I was excited to read it. It was just as fascinating as I expected.
It's a very curious book and has so much mystery. I enjoy this aspect to art and comics. Things that seem almost like a stranger's scrapbook that you find in an antique store. There's enough information that you can relate to and grasp, but since the whole picture isn't there your imagination fills in the blanks.
I like to think that Chris is very conscious of what he gives the reader. With the bold, dark and shady artwork to detail enough of a scene but still keep you an outsider.
