Killbuck by Sean Knickerbocker and published by One Percent Press
December 28, 2017 in Reviews
Killbuck https://buff.ly/2BDRi28 is a 96-page, 2 color, digest size, graphic novel created by Sean Knickerbocker and published by One Percent Press.
A group of kids nearing the end of their compulsory academic lives struggle to figure out what’s next as they wrestle with the tedium of living in impoverished rural America. Friendships are tested and relationships redefined in this coming-of-age tale set against the bleak background of youthful restlessness and boredom.
Sean sets his story Killbuck in winter and limits his colors to shades of blue and gray. The leafless, cold, and barren landscape populated by sparse figures bundled in coats effectively communicates a feeling of desolation. The characters are fully developed and the dialogue between them is believable and maintains a natural flow. The art sustains an element of detachment through the use of pale colors and simplified line work. The end result is a visually embracing story that pulls you into a world that is authentic and easy to relate to.

The Big Sheep by Andre Mateus and Rahil Mohsin
December 13, 2017 in Reviews
The Big Sheep http://bit.ly/2iDJx4o is a 20-page, Black & White, anthropomorphic noir one-shot comic written by Andre Mateus with illustrations and letters by Rahil Mohsin. Published by VMComics.
It’s just another day of trying to get by for a hardboiled tortoise P.I. with money problems named Slow Spade. Enter an ex-lamb chop girlfriend named Linda with a little kidnapping problem, and the pieces of a “who done it” scenario start falling into place. Soon a rabbit with sticky paws that runs with bad bunnies, a goat that’s handy with a hammer, and a mad dog sniffing around the crime scene complete the picture. Slow Spade might not be the quickest, but for a buck he’ll tighten the screws until all the pigeons sing!
Andre and Rahil deliver a top-notch, fun crime noir comic that perfectly blends art and story! The characters and situations are a spoof of the old hardboiled detective stories, only this time everyone is literally an animal! The story stays true to the genre it pays homage to and it plays the characters straight, not over doing any of them for comedic effect. The main character, Slow Spade, really captures the essence of the no-nonsense, tougher than leather private eye, and making him a chain-smoking wrinkled tortoise is a stroke of genius! Rahil’s bold lines and heavy shadows brings a cold and dramatic element to the pages that frame the otherwise cutesy animals in a bleak city landscape ripe with crime. Characters and backgrounds are all given great attention to detail as is page compositions, lettering, and text boxes and balloons. Visually this comic is a delight with something fun and interesting to offer in every panel!

The Legend of Pinky: Book I by Craig Johnson II
December 8, 2017 in Reviews
The Legend of Pinky: Book I http://bit.ly/2gXUBIS and https://buff.ly/2ARkc1F is a full color, 50-page, crime noir period comic written and illustrated by Craig Johnson II.
Travel back to the 1920’s New York when organized gangs ruled the streets, speakeasies offered relief to the thirsty, and bullets rained down in barrages! In this world of yesteryear one undisciplined, fun-loving, gangster navigates old-time friendships, racial sensitivities, union rights, and criminal loyalties as he gets by, by living on his own terms!
Craig does an excellent job of telling this period piece in the language of the times. The characters all come off as authentic and fully grounded in their 1920’s settings. The writing captures attitudes and a way of life lost to history while building a solid story about the people of the time and their challenges. The art is rendered in a rough, sketchy style that conveys the harshness of the characters and their surroundings. Craig balances the sketchy line work perfectly with a limited palette of pale colors that effectively emphasize the drama and action through spot colors and contrasts that make the pages pop!
