While they don’t comprise complete reviews in themselves, it should be noted that the letters page of Guardian Saturday Review often features an illustration by Tom Gauld, relating to some point about literature or the arts brought up in one of the letters printed. The illustrations aren’t just illustrating exactly what the letters say, nor are they poking fun—each illustration is a story unto itself, a short comic with a touch of Edward Gorey but not as morbid.
An extensive selection can be found at Mr. Gauld’s website, here and here. You can also check out other examples of his work at Cabanon Press, which includes book covers (check out his comic-styled cover for The Three Musketeers) and a frontpiece for Disney Adventures.
