5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, May 19, 2010
This review is from: Fantastic Butterflies (Paperback)
"Fantastic Butterflies" is James Kochalka's best graphic novel. He and his wife Amy (both drawn as elves) are the main characters who are preparing for a party. They visit their friend, an artist, who is dying of cancer and then set off for a night of fun. Along the way we meet Jason X-12 (drawn as a dog), Amy's friend Josh (pronounced Jawsrch and is female) as well as their other friends all drawn as animals or monsters. The world is similar to the one we live in except there are time machines you can use for a quarter and there are robots.

James' drawing style is deceptively simplistic and utterly compelling to look at. The story pings along nicely and it's overall message - celebrate life! - is charming and invigorating. It's a fantastic graphic novel for those who want to experience James Kochalka's work and who don't want to dip into the Sketchbook Diaries and his children's books (though those are excellent too). Great fun, highly recommended for comics fans.
