I really liked Zathura. I guess I'm saying that I stayed away from the others because he was talking about how those were the kinds of films he used to make....
I' illustrated a hard cover of Princess, but it's small press and he's been sitting on it for YEARS. I think you're right about the Del/Rey set from the 80's I...

... Lord of the Ringgs *did* suck. Sucked bad. Sucked hard. Then again, the books weren't all that great either in my opinion. Seriously, I don't really care...
