More Kochalkisms,

This review is from: Perfect Planet & Other Stories (Paperback)
The Perfect Planet is a pleasure to read. Kochalka's artwork is always clever, his storylines are original but emotionally accessible and his always interesting focus on love and lust mixed with a deliberate childish feel make this book, like so many others, fascinating and much more than a one-shot thrill read. Unlike so many other comix writers, I frequently find myself rereading his work and discovering some new emotional undercurrent or some new moment that catches my eye. Bravo.

Magic Boy likes to talk to things,
By "mallclerk" (milwaukee wi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perfect Planet & Other Stories (Paperback)
If you have ever read James Kochalka you know that he is no average comic book. He is part of what is the new underground, along others such as Tom Hart, Ron Rege Jr and, Scott Mills. In which they abandon the traditional American way of comics, focusing less upon the creation of art and image as parts and focusing, upon creating a comic as a whole.Kochalka's work is so packed with symbolism and metaphor that I doubt any other comic creator could pull it off with the fluidity and blatant love for life that Kochalka has. And unlike the many of the other comics on my shelf Kochalka's work gets better the more you read it, revealing layers of meaning that normally would have gone unnoticed.
