Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Enter Korgi Hollow, an utterly charming fantasy world brought to life by former Disney animator Slade in book one of Korgi, an epic tale of the friendship between a young girl named Ivy and her dog, Sprout. Ivy and Sprout journey together through perils untold, facing many different foes along the way including dinosaurs, spiders and even a troll so big that he towers over houses. The friends always find their way through the troubles that ensnare them, never losing faith in each other. Like many other successful graphic novels published by Top Shelf, Korgi is silent, relying on Slade's illustrations to both tell the story of Ivy and Sprout and convey the emotions behind their adventures. Slade's illustrations are so expressive and full of life that the pages radiate the feelings of his characters, and the lack of dialogue is hardly noticed. Korgi is as intricately illustrated, rich and fully imagined as an animated film. The character of Sprout himself is adorable in the extreme. While there is some danger of overcuteness at points, few will mind being drawn into this touching, exciting story suitable for fantasy fans of all ages. (Apr.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Corgi Adventure Ever, December 26, 2007

There are some things I use in my life to measure the taste and character of people I meet. Korgi is one of those things. If you don't find Korgi charming and precious, there's something wrong with your soul. In fact I suggest therapy.

Yes, it takes two minutes to read. You will read it ten times in a day.

Korgi is a simple story of a little girl and her corgi. They have adventures. They fight monsters.

But there's so much more, so much more definition, that the artist layers onto his creation that makes careful and extensive examination of the book worthwhile. Simply looking at a picture of the korgis presented does not satisfy, but looking and mentally dissecting every image does.

Korgi is a sweet (but never saccharine) tale. Share it with someone who likes simple tales. And puppies.

This review is from: Korgi, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

Korgi is a graphic novel in the truest sense: it's all graphic. There's not a single word of dialog. Christian Slade's artwork is absolutely gorgeous (it's obvious that he has Corgis himself, because he captures them perfectly). This book is appropriate for all ages. Personally, I find it a little difficult to get involved in a story when it has no words, but as long as you're expecting a purely visual experience, I recommend this book.

WOW I'm going to 'read' it again as soon as I finish this review. It was an experience like a child's first awareness of a butterfly. Korgi Book 1 made me feel like a wide-eyed child agian. The drawings are rich with expression and movement; the story is exciting and unpredictable. Discovery, Adventure, Growth, Affection, Wonder. Yes, it is a fantasy for all ages. It can be shared with the youngest of dreamers and even old reminiscers like me. I can hardly wait for Korgi Book 2.
