Guards! Guards! Details
Some night-time prowler is turning the (mostly) honest citizens of Ankh-Morpork into something resembling small charcoal biscuits. And that's a real problem for Captain Vimes, who must tramp the mean streets of the naked city looking for a seventy-foot-long fire-breathing dragon which, he believes, can help him with his enquiries. But there's more - now we get to see Ankh-Morpork in all its glory; illustrations so vibrant you can practically smell and taste the denizens of this delightful city (although with Corporal Nobbs, you might rather wish you didn't have to). All rendered in painstaking detail by Graham Higgins (who feels he now knows altogether far too much about the murky goings on inside Nobbs' head).

Obviously with a text to comic adaptation there is going to be some details lost in translation. However, this book does a good job adapting one of my favorite Discworld Novels. I won't go in detail about the writing because it's Terry Pratchett and thus it is fantastic by definition. I will talk about the art. It's like the characters were transferred directly from Terry's mind to the page. It works so well. The important details are kept and the world of the Disc is represented well.
