Megan Kelso: Artichoke Tales (2010, Fantagraphics Books) 3 stars

Simple folk living their lives

3 stars

A local artist I’m lucky to call a friend. I did not expect such a serious and mature story. The art style seems so … innocent. The villages have their own traditions, belief systems, and a shared history that I didn’t follow enough to fully understand. But I know how to load a cannon now, and there are some lovely moments beautifully drawn.
