got in early with my favourite of all (Saga). Very much enjoyed these:
Colin Thompson, Scott McCloud and Chris Ware do sweeping, emotion-driven epics incredibly well.
Also, love everything that has come out of the mind of Brian K Vaughan!

This is stunning. Will leave you with many questions - still not sure I’m clear what happened despite numerous ideas. It’s haunting, full of mystery and will provoke discussion. Girl From the Sea by Australian duo Margaret Wild & Jane Tanner is very special.

Thanks for sharing this a while ago after shared Flight for Freedom. Powerful. Perfect accompaniment for anyone focusing on conflict, Germany or the Berlin Wall itself.

A stunning true story from India about a boy who nurtured a forest. The illustrations are beautiful I’ll be adding this into

Got a bit of an obsession with the artwork of Chris Van Dusen - a Piglet Named Percy arrived today then realised he’s illustrated a series of books set in the same street written by the brilliant Kate DiCamillo! Also The Circus Ship is stunning.

Yes! Love Greenling! The Dam too, the way the shards of light slice through the images is really startling.

I’ve used Night of the Gargoyles in Creative Writing. Beats that old SATS writing piece about the statues that move. There’s some parallels to Van Allsburg here.

A3. I like his use of three panels to deliver the story thread.

Frog normal. Single odd frog. Every frog - think it is clever sequencing of the same scene. Same with the zooming in to show the panic and puzzlement.
