K-3
Comics Land series.
Illustrated by
Jess Bradley.
These goofy books introduce graphic novels to new readers. Billy the Goat sets off to explore Paradise Island and vanquishes villains from Greek mythology; Cowboy Jake and his sidekick, Horse, wrangle their annoying herd of monkeys away from bandits. The silly narratives and frame progressions are easy to follow, and the bright art is busy but not overwhelming. Appended activities are engaging. Glos. Review covers these Comics Land titles: Goat on a Boat and The Good, the Bad, and the Monkeys.
