Pages from Asaf Hanuka's fiercely thoughtful and relentlessly inventive THE REALIST. Mostly one-page comics communicating thoughts and experiences, there's so much narrative to quietly absorb even in the single-page cartoons. https://t.co/KmvegWjdss

New Jon Klassen! THE SKULL. Reminder that THE ROCK FROM THE SKY is one of his funniest books EVER, upping the ante considerably on all that dramatic irony, tension and anticipation built beautifully during his HAT-trick and SAM & DAVE DIG A HOLE with Mac Barnett. https://t.co/d6mfx3lTuM

KROMA by Lorenzo De Felici. A fable of fear and folkore, ridden with lies, used as social control. V highly recommended. Possibly my fav rustic fantasy with art every bit as exquisite as Jeff Smith's BONE. Mini-review w/more art here https://t.co/pPY8VdCts0 and on our Insta. https://t.co/GKXLOuoTaI

More from SHUNA'S JOURNEY by Hayao Miyazaki https://t.co/y5xQRM93Qd 99.9% of manga translated is in black & white, but I've never heard a single young person complain. In spite of their anime being in colour. Occasionally an adult complains. Then I offer them a box of crayons. https://t.co/CMyL1y7scG
