Beautiful Exploration

This comic book is a great introduction to Jung for young adults and adults alike. The drawings in this book immaculately illustrate Jung's theories giving the book a real cosmic flair. In this book, as with all Beginners Documentary Comics, you get a great mixture of biography and theory...Allowing the reader to not only explore the works of the person being examined, but also offering a peak into the mind/life experience of that individual. I highly recommend these comic books for educational purposes. They allow topics that may generally seem overwhelming to be viewed in short hand with the benefit of innovative art and wit.

Wonderful, funny and surprisingly informative.

I was suprised at the depth which could be reached in such a short volume. The illustrations are flippant and silly. Not overly light or impertinant. Enough for a first exposure to Jung and a taste to take the reader further if they feel a need to do so. Very worthwhile.
