Wild Graphic Novel storytelling

  Just finished Creature Tech (Top Shelf productions 2005) by Doug TenNapel. Wow, so creative!  The art is fantastic ink-brush cartooning. Incredibly skillful story takes bizarre twists and turns without every losing my heart or brain. I live close enough to California's central valley to vouch for the authentic valley touches and characters. The theological details (Arthropod heaven for a beloved Mantis bodyguard) are extra-scriptural but the heart of this book is gospel rooted. Good stuff!

Doug TenNapel has his own website at  www.tennapel.com, and most all of his books are carried by Amazon, or in public libraries.  I additionally recommend Ghostopolis as another TenNapel creation that's emotionally and creative fable for kids of all ages.

To CCAS comic creators and storytellers, I definitely recommend an afternoon with TenNapel book (public library is free) as a brain-stretcher and creativity sparker.  Awesome talent shooting off in wild directions.
