The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick, Scholastic, 0439813786 (ISBN), 544 pages, March 2007, $22.99

With an initial press run of 100,000, a noted book illustrator-author in Brian Selznick and the muscle of Scholastic working the stores and press, The Invention of Hugo Cabret is only an "off the beaten path" candidate for its tangential relationship to comics. Stuffed with art (284 pages), Selznick's book draws on elements of comics storytelling above and beyond providing a pleasing visual accompaniment to the prose sections.
