More Tales from the Forbidden Planet

Very fine volume of short fiction by big names in comics, sci-fi and fantasy, as well as some less known authors, beautifuly illustrated by some of the greats in the craft. It's an unusual selection of stories, often crossing genres and intermingling styles. From Ian Watson's light-hearted "The Human Chicken" via Mick Farren's apocalyptic "Fun in the Final days" to RM Lammings's philosophical "Wasp Songs", all tastes are catered for, but my favourite is probably Neil Gaiman's "Webs", an unusual take on his usual dark fantasy.
