Okay, so i got an email from Malcolm last week pointing me in the direction of 2 books that would be useful for me as a good way of telling a story. so i promptly ordered them and they have arrived....
Forgotton voices of Dunkirk by Joshua Levine Tells the story of the evacuation form Dunkirk through first hand accounts made by the soldiers themselves. entirely made up of little snippets of information from the troops. an interesting way of telling a story indeed.it includes some nice reference photographs as well.
The second book is Griffin & Sabine by Nick Bantock, and its a real visual treat. The story is told through fictional post cards sent between these two people. theres even envelopes and stuff you can pull out and interact with. Some nice illustrations as well (and theres a fair few books in the series).
On another note im also reading Dracula atm (read it if you havn't) and i guess its told in a similar manner - through letters, journals and newspaper reports.
Ideas coming to mind for the graphic novel is perhaps a Japanese soldier looting the corpse of a dead guy and is looking through his personal correspondence (letters from home, diary, picture of wife and kids, thats sort of thing you know?) and it tells the story of this guy hes killed.
so as you can see Griffin and Sabine is visually appealing with plenty to look at but with a quite intriguing story to boot so its well worth a look.
also the new map pack for Call of Duty includes a map of Kowloon
