(4) 1-3 Born in the dryer, Lint Boy and Lint Bear fall prey to vicious, doll-hating girl Tortura; she grows into "a wicked old hag" who has disfigured and caged dozens of dolls. The graphic novel's gently grim illustrations evoke art nouveau and Tim Burton's animation in an intriguing way. Choppiness in the storytelling and occasional layout missteps detract from the otherwise clever (if strange) comic.
