comic book recommendation: Courtney Crumrin and the [...]
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 10:01 pmI went on vacation. When you go on vacation, you buy stuff. At least, I do. Kersigh.
At any rate, I gravitated toward a book store, and found Courtney Crumrin in the Twilight Kingdom, by Ted Naifeh (Oni Press). I was all, "Hey, pretty arts!" and popped it open to read. I read through half of it before I realized that Mom (for I was visiting family!) was likely very tired, and I was hungry, and I wanted to read the rest, SO I BOUGHT IT.
I didn't quite notice it was the third book of the series, until after reading it through the second time (which I did immediately after reading it the first time).
SO I BOUGHT THE OTHER TWO ([...] Night Things (book one) and [...] Coven of Mystics (book two). At another store. At another time.
Um...I'm not really good at review type things. Hence "recommendation." But when I read these, I thought: "Choark," "spiffy art," and "JTHM." Here, have two scans:
tednaifeh_courtneycrumrin-intro.png - The introduction from the first book, which kind of gives you a feel for the series.
Also, there are 5 page previews in the links to OniPress above.
LIKE WHAT I LIKE IT'S NECESSARY TO MY LIVING!
Or check it out, y'know. I think some folks here may appreciate it. <p>
