Wonderland

My brother in-law is a middle school librarian. He also creates comic books - both writes and illistrates. Unfortunately, the comic books don't go far in terms of paying the bills, thus the middle shcool he must go five days a week. A few years back he was comissioned to write a follow up story to Alice in Wonderland. Tommy agreed to do it because they hired someone to do the graphics so all he had to concentrate on was the story writing. (yep, that's right. I have creative people on both sides of my family)

If you remember the orginal Alice in Wonderland, when the Rabbit meets Alice he first mistakes her for his maid, Mary Ann. Tommy's story follows Mary Ann as she returns Wonderland from vacation after Alice turned everything upside down. Many people begin mistaking Mary Ann for Alice and havoc ensue. It is very fun story.

While the orginal series came out in several soft bound comic books, this month, the Wonderland series was released in hard cover book form. It is very nicely done.

And while fat, ugly, over weight cats hate it; I really enjoyed reading the story. It is much nicer in book form because it will last longer and for some reason the story just seems funnier with hard covers. For kids of all ages who are discovering comic books, this would be a book to own. There are not any guns, monsters or violence that boys typically seek for in comic books, so it will probably be enjoyed more by girls than boys, I think readers of both genders will like it.

Two other comic series that Tommy writes are called Stitch and Skelebunnies. I like these better than Wonderland. They are full of the strang and weird and are written for an older audience than Wonderland. But not to worry, they are only GP13.

Sorry for the advertisement, but hey! This is family. And it really is cool stuff.
