And, of course, they also publish the hugely popular Adventures in Cartooning by James Sturm, Alexis Frederick-Frost and Andrew Arnold. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang (review coming soon) and Lark Pien, author of the wonderful picture book, Mr Elephanter also create for First Second.
First Second is also the publisher of Sarah Varon's wonderful wordless graphic novel, Robot Dreams as well as Bake Sale, which comes out in August of this year and is about a cupcake who longs to travel abroad and meet foreign pastries. Published by the excellent :01 First Second, the production quality of this book is high and worth every penny. Especially when she enters it wearing a cool green cape and surrounded by a fantastic, colorful group of characters like those Hatke has created. But for some reason, boys seem to dominate this realm of space ships and many limbed creatures with weird weapons to such a degree that a girl does get noticed when she steps into this universe. We also have the take-charge Emily from the excellent Amulet series by Kazo Kibuishi, which is a nice mix of fantasy and science fiction. Of course, we have the amazing Mirka, created by Barry Deutsch and her adventures in Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword, which is a great fantasy graphic novel. Zita is a girl! A Space Girl!! A science fiction heroine in a kid's graphic novel is unique, as far as I can tell. 3.Ī copy of this book was provided by Raincoast Books for an honest review.A HUGE thank you to Ben Hatke for creating Zita the Space Girl! I am pretty new to graphic novels and I certainly don't know all of the great books out there for kids, especially online graphic novels, but this one feels pretty unique - and familiar at the same time - if that is possible. Might Jack and Zita the Spacegirl comes out Sept. If the second book and the latest is any indication, this is a great series to read. I also didn’t know a number of the characters, which didn’t help, although I would like to see them again. I found myself often being lost as to who was who and why they were acting they way they were acting. I think you need to read the other books to fully appreciate this one. The book, like the other I have read before, has amazing illustrations and a great story-line. When the two meet, they’re more than ready for another adventure.” Data alle stampe alla fine degli anni Ottanta, Gli ultimi giorni di Pompeo è un graphic novel realizzata da Andrea Pazienza, uno degli artisti più apprezzati dello scorso secolo.
Zita, according to the book, “is fresh from a slew of interplanetary travels and seeking Jack’s help to face a new threat.
Jack and his friends are ordinary kids who become extraordinary thanks to some magic and their own bravery and courage. I really enjoy author/illustrator Ben Hatke’s work, particularly Nobody Likes a Goblin, a picture book, and Little Robot, a graphic novel.
I have read Mighty Jack by Ben Hatke, but not Zita The Spacegirl, but after reading Might Jack and Zita the Spacegirl graphic novel ($19.50, Raincoast, First Second), I need to find it.
