Andrea was 25 when we first met. She was witty, she was fun, she was beautiful. But she wasn’t particularly self-confident. She was working in a lowly job that she didn’t like, one of a string of jobs since she’d graduated, and she wasn’t really sure what she wanted to do. I was a graphic designer and soon after we got together I made a suggestion – why don’t you work with me? I’ll train you. I was only half serious. She probably quipped “Dunno, what are the hours?”, but she quickly agreed and so began our long partnership. We were partners in every sense, we lived, loved and worked closely together for the rest of her life.
Around this time she had her big epiphany, one that she often talked about in interviews. Still working part-time for a charity, she famously crossed the floor during a racism awareness course from the “white” side of the room, beckoned by her black colleagues. After a childhood of evasion and “passing-for-white”, this light-skinned young English woman of Caribbean heritage realised not only that she was black but just what that meant in terms of British history, British society, and her strangely unrepresented place in it.
Thomas Kinsman, one of the characters in The Long Song, the last novel that Andrea wrote, describes at the beginning of the book how his mama, a Jamaican woman called July, “… had a story – a story that lay so fat within her breast that she felt impelled, by some force that was mightier than her own will, to relay this tale”.
It’s a description that fits the author herself rather well. Andrea made a good graphic designer, she could think visually and had great ideas; but now she had a story, the story of her own heritage, and she wasn’t going to be able to tell that through graphic design.

Aleister Browney “This was my first foray in reading an introductory course presented in the comic book medium and I cant say I was disappointed. I have previously read other subjects condensed into accessible and concise formats, but this one really grabbed my attention.
Let me begin by saying that whatever you think you may know about Logic may be entirely different from whats in this book. I have been fascinated by Philosophy ever since my High School days. Areas such as ontology, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics fascinated my eager young mind to no end. Understanding myself, others, and this odd little situation we find ourselves called life was a big deal to me. Back in my college days I remember seeing Logic courses being offered but for some reason or another I never took part. My idea of Logic was probably similar to most peoples – things that made sense or a particular mode of thinking. After reading Introducing Logic: A Graphic Guide I found my whole conception of this area of Philosophy got flipped turned upside down.
The book begins by providing a simple definition of what Logic which is “the study of truth preserving arguments.” What intrigued me most upon starting this book was just how much mathematics played a role in Logic. As you learn in the book Logic is all about setting up an argument and analyzing the components that make up that argument. These arguments are arranged into formulas to test a variety of ideas. One thing that I think will catch the attention of a lot of people is just how wide Logic’s influence on society is. I for one never knew that Logic was crucial in the development of electronics, computers, AI, and even cognitive science. New comers are likely to be stunned by how indebted we are to Logic for the development of technologies and ideas that are so common place we don’t think twice about them.
Before starting this book I was unsure of how I would respond to it. Im no stranger to the graphic novel medium, but the idea of learning something as intricate as Logic from what many just dismiss as comic books left me skeptical. Having finished the book I can say that neophytes to the study of Logic should have no worries about picking this one up. The information is presented in a very easy to digest manner and does not leave you feeling bombarded by complex recondite ideas. On the sleeve of the book I noticed that its part of a series of graphic novels that tackle a wide variety of subjects so I think I’ll be returning for new books. Definitely pick this one up and live long and prosper!”
Tghu Verd “The cartoons are for the most part unreadable on my Kindle and the text relies on the graphics, which made this a slog for me. Guess I should have figured that might be an issue from the “A Graphic Guide” in the title, so my bad. Apart from that I feel that this is one of those middle of the road books that won’t appeal to the knowledgeable because it is too light and slight, yet will lose the casual reader because understanding logic does take some heavy duty thinking, cartoon call outs aside.
Still, it covers most modes of logic and makes a solid effort to describe and link the various frameworks so if you are interested in a deeper understanding of the topic it is worth trying.”
Joseph J. Truncale “Even though I have taken several philosophy courses including logic during my college years I thought this book (Introducing Logic: A graphic guide by Dan Cryan, Sharron Shatil and Bill Mayblin) would give me a brief overview and a good review of the basic principles of logic. Surprisingly, this 176 paperback went into more detail than I expected, which was fantastic.
Some of the material covered in this text includes the followings: What is logic? The Greek philosopher Aristotle who first developed a system of logic using the syllogism. About 100 years after Aristotle Chrysippus of Soli further developed the system of logic. For the next 2,000 years other thinkers and mathematicians also came up with various ideas to improve the way reason and logic can be used to arrive at the truth. A few of the problems in arriving at the truth include: Contradiction factors and the liar paradox riddle.
Reading this book will give you an overall basic theory of logic but this subject can also be confusing because of the many inherent problems in arriving at the truth and facts of a subject. The fact concerning contradictions are also a big problem. In any case, if you are seeking a good basic guide to the subject of logic you should check out this book.
Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute).”
Fotis Koutoulakis “I loved this book. It’s the perfect little introduction to a variety of different topics as wide as:
* Classical Logic
* Alternative Logics (Fuzzy, etc)
* Philosophy of Science
* Logic and the Scientific Methods
* Logic and Computers/AI
* Logic and Linguistics
And a whole swath of other topics. Highly recommended for the breadth of information inside. Only downside is that the format of the book series, although highly entertaining, is sometimes hard to follow, because a lot of the key information seems to be in short speech bubbles by various important and historical figures. Don’t let that distract you from enjoying this little gem though.”
