Illustrated short stories from The Guardian, Elle, Chicago Tribune, etc - some graphic-stories, some with a few inserts, some with just an initial/final image.
"Backwards in Seville" was my favourite piece, both for its story and picture. But that's not saying much - the light fantasy pieces aren't to my taste. "Girl on a Roof", "Jacob Wywialowski and the Angels" and "Motion Studies: Getting out of Bed" might have developed into something, given more space.

- Etelka Lehoczky (Niffenegger would have done better to keep it for herself. Her writing calls emphatically for a certain type of visual accompaniment: detailed, decorative, Edwardian. Campbell's pen (usually a digital stylus, as is all too evident) races forward and meanders, stutters and scrawls. In other works his approach has had a seat-of-your-pants energy, but here his sketches just feel rushed.)
