giant bugs,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gon, Vol. 5 (Paperback)
Gon, the little dinosaur, ventures into the underground caves to rescue a wolf cub kidnapped by a giant spider. His travel companions are a brave prairie dog and the timid but determined mother wolf. On the way they encounter a variety of giant insects, including months and ants, and the adventure culminates in an epic battle with the giant spider.
The drawings are superbly lively and detailed. However, since the subjects are super-sized bugs, whether you enjoy them depend on your taste. I do find panel after panel crawling with ants a little upsetting after a while. The story, on the other hand, is engrossing and fun to read. Gon is resourceful and fearless, and a character easy to cheer on. There are no written dialogues, so all the action is encapsulated in the drawing, especially in the character's facial expressions. Mostly I have no problem understanding what is going on from the pictures, though occasionally the action is a little hazy.
