This review is from: "Akiko, Vol. Two (The Menace of Alia Rellapor, Book Two) (All-Ages Comic Book, Issues 8 to 13) (Paperback)
I have just finished Akiko-Volume Two and I want to say it is just as delightful as Volume One. As I get to know Spuckler and Mr. Beeba ("Beebs") better I like them more and more. And poor Akiko playing peacemaker and ringmaster all in one. They along with Poog and Gax arrive at the castle of Alia Rellapor after much travail and hard times--and laughter! Is Alia Rellapor a villainess or not?? Did she kidnap her son or didn't she??--just delightful reading. Maybe even the best was at the end where Mr. Beeba tries to catch the reader up on Volume One--with his own slant of course. He has some harsh words to say, maybe even a lawsuit--but he cannot decide whether to sue the writer or the illustrator--LOL!! Looking forward to Volume Three!...Betty Knowlton
