Works Of Art - Joe Chiodo
                                             (2003 - Hermes Press)  

     Seems to be a slightly better presentation than the other Chiodo collection on The List, with 73 pages featuring a large reproduction and another nine gathering together two-or-more images.  The rest of the book's 96 pages are a couple of sequential comic pages and text introducing the works and the three sections called Girl Art, Comics, and Painting, and don't forget the interview.  There's also a bit more diversity here as a number of pieces seem to be portraits, or other studies from life, in a more realistic vein (guys & girls) than the other stylized femmes on display.  Character design examples take some of the art pages, as well as five double-page-spreads (two of which shouldn't have been laid out like that).  The only 'celebrity', Vampirella, puts in few appearances (well, and one girl that could be Little Red Riding Hood . . .).  Everything is captioned with title, creation-year & medium.
