I read this Feb 17 and gave it 4 ⭐️. This was another one that I bought on the basis of the author and the artist. I will be honest, it‘s McKean‘s art that makes this story. It‘s a dreamy, hazy art that matches Gaiman‘s story.

Agreed!

I selected this book at a #BookCrossing meetup to release in my #LittleFreeLibrary. The problem was that I browsed through the book before placing it on the bookshelf. You guessed it! I‘m reading it now...and I never did release it on my bookshelf. This book is cruel and mean so far. That‘s okay because it fits with what I‘m seeing my country becoming. What‘s the answer? Maybe the answer is in this graphic novel.

Wow. What a cool story. Some of the most gorgeous artwork I've ever seen. I like how there wasn't tons of explanation. #readathon

Next up for the #readathon. I've heard good things.

This is so me right now. Must everyone in this waiting room scream into a cell phone? I understand the need for hard, easy to clean surfaces in a room filled with sick folks, but sound-dampening ceiling tiles would really be nice.

I wanted more Gaiman after finishing Lucifer, so I picked up Black Orchid. It's a superhero story that broke the 'rules' of the genre. And this is the pivotal scene that did it.

One of Neil Gaiman's first comic books. The story follows a hybrid-plant person from her pursuers. She flees with her younger plant "sister." Also has great cameos of other famous villains. Wacky, but amazing art and a fabulous fantastic storyline.
