Ghostopolis
by Doug TenNapel
Book Description:
Imagine Garth Hale's surprise when he's accidentally zapped to the spirit world
by Frank Gallows, a washed-out ghost wrangler. Suddenly Garth finds he has
powers the ghosts don't have, and he's stuck in a world run by the evil ruler of
Ghostopolis, who would use Garth's newfound abilities to rule the ghostly
kingdom. When Garth meets Cecil, his grandfather's ghost, the two search for a
way to get Garth back home, and nearly lose hope until Frank Gallows shows up to
fix his mistake. Review:
You may already know that I don't read a lot of graphic novels. I have a hard time sometimes following them. This one, though caught my eye with the weird skeleton horse on the front cover!
I really ended up enjoying this one. It has an interesting story, with a brave main character, and the pictures are well colored and clearly drawn. I thought it was a really cool reimagining of the afterlife with a happy ending.
