5.0 out of 5 stars
A lovely love story for Cure fans
In this book I found a very artfully written and illustrated fairy tale, which was especially poignant for me as an aging cure fan in love. It now sits comfortably on my bookshelf between other such sentimental texts. Recommended to any fan of original romantic comic works and/or the Cure.

Cute, in a kind of Edward Gorey way.
Damon Hurd, A Strange Day (Alternative Comics, 2005) Damon Hurd says in his foreword to this book that he knows it's cheesy, and that it's written not for us, but for "the sixteen-year-old in [us] that fell in love at first sight." Thus, be warned. That said, Hurd does, in fact, know what he's on about. This little tale is the story of two...

Damon Hurd, A Strange Day (Alternative Comics, 2005)
Damon Hurd says in his foreword to this book that he knows it's cheesy, and that it's written not for us, but for "the sixteen-year-old in [us] that fell in love at first sight." Thus, be warned. That said, Hurd does, in fact, know what he's on about. This little tale is the story of two high-school kids who skip school to buy the new Cure album, find out it won't be going on sale until midafternoon, and spend the rest of the day (or what we see in it) falling in love. Tatiana Gill's artwork mirrors the impulsive nature of the protagonists quite nicely, if a little ham-handed at times. (Of course, there's a very fine difference between "ham-handed" and "German Expressionist" or "L'Association," so draw your own conclusions.) A cute, and attractively-priced, little book. Cure fans will definitely want to sink their teeth into this one, as will those who got a nostalgic twinge while reading Jolene Siana's recent Go Ask Ogre. *** |
