This is the Best!

This is the best book I've ever written and illustrated! And it's also the first book I've ever written and illustrated! So beware! What may follow may be even better or even worse! But in any case, I'm glad you're here! And YOU'RE MAAHVELOUS! xoxoxScott

Impish fun reveals truth for all.

After several readings, both fun filled and contemplative, I've come to understand this treat of a tale as an honest instruction about true value in life. While Dali and Puut move through their many adventures in Venice they reveal a dramatic range of attitudes in response to the world and its inhabitants. Attitudes we all share but don't often admit. It's good to have them blasting out from the emotional roller coaster of Puut's private thoughts while making us giggle and swoon along. Dali beams with insight and daring while giving us the thrill of conquest over our lives of restriction. It's all a great release into rejecting the trash of our prisons and embracing the love within our good fortune. Visually stunning, in a very indivualistic style, and repeatedly entertaining with graphic wit and inventive coloration. I think Mr. Chambliss is on to something that just could become a cool-cult hit!

Marvy Maahvelous!!

Funny, beautiful, informative---and that's just the cover! I can't wait for the sequel! Scott's artistry is superb. And his new "language Italiano" is way cool! This is a winner!

Absolutely and Deliciously MAAHVELOUS!

This book is a decadent, sublime visual feast. Scott Chambliss has created a delicious cocktail of exquisitely rendered cartoon characters, and photo collage imagery that is ambrosia for the eyes. The lead characters are endearing, even in their over-the-top existances. Cartoons they may be, but their personalities are fleshed out well enough by this talented author so as to make them likeable and engaging. I can hardly wait for a sequel to this MAAHVELOUS Creation!!! - J. Fernelius

A new genera for meAn innovative book that I recommend to every aspiring "Glamour Heroine" out there

I am a bit of a book snob, and I have been wary of the increasily large section devoted to graphic novels at my local bookstore. However, after reading Scott Chambliss' "Maahvelous!" I have to re-evaluate some of my hard-lined stances. The over-the-top plotline is engaging and self-deprecating, making it a great read. The main characters, fallen home shopping star Princess Puut and design mogul friend Dali, are both edgy and endearing. I am impressed with Chambliss' bold juxtaposition of images: cartoon characters, phootographic portraiture and high Renaissance sculpture are contained in a single illustration. The eye candy comes in a delightful tongue and cheeck board book design.
