5.0 out of 5 stars Strange Happenings for the Tiny Terror, September 25, 2002

This review is from: Gon Color Spectacular (Paperback)

The tiny jurassic tornado is back in full swing, and he's doing things in color for the first time! The six eight-page stories that appear here originated in the Japanese comic MORNING and are collected for the first time together, and they all defy the normality of Gon by bringing him to you in a full-flavored sight spectrum. The format of this addition is a bit odd for the Gon series, coming to you in a comic type style instead of the normal trade paperback editions, but don't let that fool you. It still has all the kick of a normal Gon feature.

If you are unfamiliar with Gon and his exploits, he's is a two-foot-tall, unstoppable dinosaur that loves to explore, take up for the "little guys," and terrorize anything that gets in his way. He travels far and wide, matching his little feet and indestructible nature against anything the world can throw at him, providing silent (yes, that's right, no words) entertainment for people of all ages/interests.
Included here are:
Gon is very sleepy, proving that Gon not only works hard and plays hard, but he also sleeps with a ferocity that also manages to intertwine his downtime and trouble.

Gon's archenemy, the bear, shows that Gon really doesn't like bears at all. In quite a few of his other adventures, Gon has found himself at odds with them, going to lengths to torment them. In this piece, Gon runs across a gorge with a single log providing a way to cross and a bear with a fish coming from the other direction. Will Gon give? Right.

Gon meets King Bear is more of a showing of strength, pitting the little dinosaur against the king of the forest in a contest of eating and endurance.

Gon becomes electric Gon mingles Gon with lightning, only adding to the torment he can cause for others. This one is especially good, providing an interesting ending that was, well, unexpected.

Gon meets little teddy finds Gon wandering across the path of a little bear trying to reach an apple in the distance. Well, when a bird swoops down and takes it, Gon does what he doe best. He teaches it a lesson.

In Gon has big antlers, Gon is admiring a deer's antlers in the forest, wanting some for himself. Well, he comes across the skeleton of a deceased one, removes its horns and carries them in his mouth, and causes chaos for predator and prey alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Bit As Awesome As The Black-&-Whites, November 21, 2004

By 

Stephen B. O'Blenis (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gon Color Spectacular (Paperback)

The first foray of the world's last and mightiest dinosaur, the foot-tall Gon, into the realm of color. As phenomenal as the rest of the series, with the very, very minor reduction in the intricacy of the pencilwork displayed more than made up for by a chance to see Gon and his world rendered in vivid color. The diminutive dinosaur shines here, doing what he does best - befriending creatures of all manner, defending his friends from adversity, predators and downright bullies, enjoying life to the fullest (he takes such immense pleasure in things like savoring the taste of a piece of fruit, in a way the world at large seems to have forgotten how to), and continuing his long-running rival with a particular bear known throughout the Gon series simply as 'The Bear', begun in the very first Gon book when Gon takes offense at 'The Bear' bullying a smaller bear out of his catch of fish. (It's worth noting that only one bear goes by the name 'The Bear'; all other bears seem to have been assigned other names, such as 'King Bear' and 'Little Teddy'. It's also worth noting that despite the titanic nature of their struggles - with 'The Bear' inevitably coming out on the losing end - nobody ever gets seriously injured. Such is part of the charm of the Gon series). Touching, hilarious and exhiliratingly enjoyable as always. Features the tales "Gon Is Very Sleepy", "Gon's Archenemy, The Bear", "Gon Meets King Bear", "Gon Becomes Electric Gon" (one of the most wonderfully moving tales in his pantheon), "Gon Meets Little Teddy" and "Gon Has Big Antlers". Animals featured in this volume include deer,prairie dogs, a skunk, an owl, and many more.
