I had said in last week's post that today I'd be writing a Matt Phelan 'masterpost'. Typically this means that I cover 3+ books by a single author (or multiple authors writing together in a series). However, today I'm just going to talk about 2 books because honestly that's all I could get my hands ...
Graphic novels are baffling things. They can't be read like prose, nor can they be reviewed by it. The process of reading them is absurdly fast, yet shockingly slow. Snow White by Matt Phelan is no exception. I have a fair confession to make: I have no idea what I am doing. I'm unsure as to whet...
Yep. I'm standing by my bad pun. This is a beautifully illustrated film noir take on the Snow White story and I liked it. It was sparse with text and plentiful with panel after panel of gritty, dazzling art that spoke for itself. I'm not generally a fan of fairy tales, especially the ones th...
This was a quick read, so I read though it again as I felt after reading it the first time, I didn’t fully understand the whole story. I’m not a big graphic novel reader but I loved the cover of this one and after reading the synopsis, I thought this would be one that I would really enjoy. I have to...

But this book is everything graphic novels should be.First of all, the artwork is simply beautiful. I loved the minimal color usage in the b...
I really liked this book. I've read a lot of books of writing advice and this is one of my favorites, even as a grown-up. I liked the straightforward and honest voices of both authors, and I'm looking forward to recommending this book (and other books by these authors) by aspiring writers in my scho...
Anything "panda" catches my eye: I must bring it home for Natasha, who has always been interested in the critters. Phelan's art is really simple and appealing. The main thrust of the story, Xander having to reconsider his party plans to be more inclusive, actually had a strong focus on Xander thin...
Pretty gritty, but hey it is about the Dust Bowl. Ha! I can't resist a good pun. I'm really becoming a fan of Phelan's work after reading this and Bluffton - he has a knack for really conveying a child's perspective and distilling a particular moment in time. In the case of Bluffton - it was early 1...
