Reviews for Stray Crayons Volume One:
| By | Tanari (Washington) - See all my reviews |
"If you're looking for a penetrating, apallingly honest story about a
homeless drug-addict and victim of physical abuse, you probably wouldn't think
of picking up a manga with two half-naked girls on the cover.
And you'd be missing out on one of the most innovative and brutally beautiful
books in the genre.
Told with a spoonful of superficial sugar (i.e. rampant near-nudity and hints of
girl-on-girl action) to make the nitty-gritty more palatable, Stray Crayons is
an occasionally heart-rending tale in spite of its brevity. Unlike so many rabid
anti-drug campaigns, one does not get the sense that Yoko Molotov (author AND
artist, impressively enough) is standing on a soap-box and screaming morality at
the reader. Her portrayal of drug abuse is all the more powerful for its
subtlety and honesty.
An excellent book; I really look forward to reading not only the sequel, but
anything else Ms Molotov publishes in the future. She's proven to be a rare and
insightful talent."
Oh my god, I could have cried, thank you so much.- ym

8/13/06 BIG BIG NEWS!!!
Stray Crayons is going to be published, and hopefully launched in the Spring of 2007! Unfortunately there will be no more updates, but you guys can still look forward to Strays in the completed graphic novel form from Demented Dragon, publishers of NecrOphealia, coming out this fall!!! Stay tuned for more news, and more exclusive art from the series!

Yeah, you heard it right. I am in the middle of getting a deal with a comic company, (I will elaborate later when it is final) for getting published. The first being NecrOphealia. This is pretty big for me, or to any web Manga-ka aspiring to make it to hard print. I will update as more develops, and hang tight you may even see Stray Crayons in book form as well!!! So sadly I will not have the time to be updating Strays for a while, because I'll be working day and night on this new thing. -_- I do plan however to still enter in TP's RSoM7 though... see you around guys!
