Excellent
Another great installment in the Courtney Crumrin series. Naifeh continues to produce solid, quality work in the form of heartfelt stories of Courtney and her Uncle Aloynius. If you're a fan of the series, definitely check this out. It's a worthy and rather somber addition.

Outstanding New Fable With Pretty Much The Full Crumrin Cast
Reprinting the third four-issue miniseries starring adorable young curmudgeon Courtney Crumrin and her excellent cast of co-stars, "In The Twilight Kingdom" manages to come very, very close to its predecessor "Courtney Crumrin And The Coven Of Mystics", which I consider to be one of the greatest comic arcs ever published. The first issue reprinted here is a bit atypical for the Crumrin ...

Brilliant On Every Level
Starring the most lovable young curmudgeon in comic book history, Courtney Crumrin, "Coven Of Mystics" is one of the most enderaing, laugh-out loud hilarious, tragic, bittersweet, imaginative and triumphant books I've ever read, comic book or prose, fiction or non-fiction. It's also one of the scariest, with the Rawhead 'N Bloody Bones bog monster more frightening than most of the nasties ...

Nancy Collins illustrated
A very dark graphic novel - also a must read for fans of Sonja Blue. I enjoy comics, though I am not an avid reader. I found this to be a beautifully drawn book. Being a fan of Nancy Collins, I also enjoyed the story.

Courtney Crumrin, Vol. 1: Courtney Crumrin & The Night Things (Courtney Crumrin (Graphic Novels))

great art, fun writing
I'd put it in the same category as "Bone" and "Sparks: An Urban Fairytale", for fun story-telling, great art, strong female protagonists, and sly humor. Also recommended for anyone who liked "Thief of Time" or "Something Wicked This Way Comes" as a kid.

Walk beyond the wild side
What's it about? Lots of things, and nothing. It's about gender, the social identity, but not about body features that determine sex. It's about the act of sex, too, or maybe just an act. It's about the constant, demanding search for the next big head rush - maybe not a thrill, but the thing that makes you feel like you're really alive. It's also about heroin, and the search for no feeling at ...

A shoujo space odyssey
High school is a time of change for many people. People you thought you knew one day become total jerks the next. Maybe it's just part of growing up. Or maybe their body's been swapped with that of a fugitive alien. Ann is a quiet bookworm. Unlike most shoujo heroines, she's not an especially pretty or kind hearted. At the start of the book she seems to be content to go through life in an ...

Subterranean Press, 2006

A stunning, shrouded explanation
First of all, Dancy is one of the best characters. After reading Alabaster I kind of feel like I have a better grasp on Dancy's situation and how she got there. Ms. Kiernan gives out small tid bits of information without detracting from the mystery that surrounds Dancy. This collection allows the readers' mind to better wander the realm of possibilities in previous works such as In the Garden of ...
