Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo: The Road to Epoli

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ben Costa. Minstrel skeleton Rickety Stitch and his loyal sidekick, an animated sack named Gelatinous Goo, embark on a quest in faraway lands populated with ogres, gnomes, and other friends and foes. The irreverent graphic-novel comedy blends music and fantasy into a contemplation of the skeleton's former life, clues to which arrive in black-and-white dream sequences; otherwise the art is brazenly vibrant as the farcical quest advances.
