Days after the attack on Plastic Beach, Noodle awoke in a strange Japanese village that smelled of fish. The book is filled to the brim with beautiful artwork by Jamie Hewlett, and it provides a lot of background information on even the tiniest things related to the band and their origins. joined the beach party, ate some strange-tasting brownies, and came third in the wet T-shirt contest. Narrated in the way of a biography-slash-interview, at times way too heavy-handedly to be effective, it works all the same and probably precisely because of it, because it's in tune with the characters themselves. Unfortunately, my phone screen is much too small to be able to read the damn thing without zooming in and out an infinite number of times.

As a huge Gorillaz head, I loved this book, but couldn't recommend it in the least to someone who isn't into them or even to someone who is looking to get into them. Brainchild of Daman Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, a virtual band that lives in their own fictional universe, couldn’t have been better executed than during the rise of digital music.Jammed with exclusive new artwork, including the first ever strip to star 2D and Murdoc Niccals; puzzles, games and more; plus a raft of special guest appearances from Gorillaz collaborators past and present, the Gorillaz Almanac is a compendium of delights which finally puts the most real band around on the printed page.

That is until the end where it's hinted that all along, they're actually aware that they are indeed somebody's creation. The art style was the same as the art from the Gorrilaz music videos and the visuals as well as language work very good together.Celebrating 20 years of Gorillaz, this latest Z2 partnership sees Hewlett expand the band’s collaborative vision to fellow visual artists in The Gorillaz Art Book, a stunning visual feast of 306 pages.
