Tales From the Loop

I loved the Amazon prime series based on artist’s paintings. Had to have the inspiration for the series. Was not disappointed. The book came alive with emotions evoked by the Tales From the Loop.

Beautiful art and interesting story. Well worth the money.

Love the book. The Prime show is kinda garbage though. Really hit or miss.

It's great. Cool and interesting art pieces in a well made book.

The book itself is great. I use it as a reference for the tabletop game. It really annoys me that the "sticker" on the cover is printed into the artwork. Who's decision was this? I already know it's a mediocre show on Amazon prime. That's not why I bought the book. I bought the book because Simon Stalenhag created a fantastic universe but regardless of my opinions of the show the book itself is great and very much Simon Stalenhag's work.

Combined, the story and art of this book form very powerful storytelling and fuel intense expanses of imagination.... I am a big fan of Stalenhag. This book had me in tears at the end, pondering the various implications and real meaning of what it was actually about... may not be what it seems on the "surface "...if you think about it. It is about us all... whoever we are, who have "grown up". Maybe.

I'm immersed in the beautiful artwork which is almost plaine aire in it's finish, I'm swept away to these landscapes and am impressed by the conversion of this graphic book into a wonderful show titled as such.

We're a story-driven society, and are inherently drawn to connect things together. This work is quite intriguing - the glimpse of an alternate history, coupled with the target audience's sense of nostalgia. Though, to be fair, this work is most suitable for anyone over the age of 30. Teenagers may glean something from it, but considering the protagonist is looking back upon his own journey (from childhood to the cusp of adulthood) some of the material won't resonate as well.The initial story captures the imagination, but unfortunately it seems as if the author got bored with it, and decided to bring in Dinosaurs. Which, by themselves is rather odd, at the same time it undermines the credibility - the suspension of belief - that I held up until that point. Sure, there are hints at tragedies - which is all well in storytelling - but he overuses this simple device. A good story can have a few of these, but when page after page after page repeats the same cliche'd formula, it gets tiring... actually, it gets boring and annoying.There is a story here, and even a spattering of pages about divorce, but no character build-up. It seems as if playing Sonic the Hedgehog was as important as his father looking for his lost wedding ring - a ring he threw into the field.... which lead us to a divorce (of course) shortly thereafter.If he had ditched the dinos, or introduced them carefully, rather than 'Hey, let's draw some dinos!' I would have gone along for the ride... though maybe not. Such an introduction would require a lot more than a simple, "and did I mention the portal to dino-land?"My rating should be 3.5 stars, but Amazon's limitations prevent that.This is an interesting work. It shows promise, but it can't hide its infancy.

Talvez, um dia, tragam para o Brasil este volume (Mas lançaram primeiro o segundo da série ou terceiro da série,acho...) mas pelo menos temos acesso ao volume em inglês.Nesse livro/quadrinho, temos diversos contos que são memórias do narrador, de sua infância e experiências que teve durante os anos. Eu simplesmente gosto desse tipo de arte e suas cores. Nessa mescla entre texto e pinturas, como um livro infantil, vemos a história de uma realidade que não existiu, mas tem um toque tão real quanto o que de fato existe.Ver a série que foi inspirada nesse e em outros volumes, é apenas a ponta do iceberg, pois, uma vez que se tenha prazer em mergulhar nestas águas, acho improvável que se queira voltar para a nossa realidade.

Es un excelente libro, las ilustraciones y las historias lo valen completamente

Stumbled across this through a 'people who bought items in your cart also bought this' list - had never heard of the artist/author previously. So glad to have discovered it now, though.Not knowing a great deal about Scandinavia, the story sounded plausible at the very beginning, until I realised that it was way too early for the kind of science that's being suggested. So this is a parallel universe, then, and a fascinating one. What kid doesn't love playing around hulks of dead machinery? (Well, they did in my day - I'm not sure they'd be allowed near them today.)The artwork is fascinating, with sketches scattered here and there for an insight into the artist's process. Coupled with the fragments of story, it ends up being a comfortable mix of art book and illustrated story that just seems to work, even though it perhaps shouldn't.Will definitely by more works by the same author. Great find and highly recommended.

No me gustó que trajera el sello impreso en la portada "Now an amazon original series prime video", en mi opinión la arruina totalmente
