Book – Pink Panther Vol. 1
Author – S.A. Check, S.L. Gallant, Batton Lash, Keith Davidsen
Star rating - ★★★★☆
No. of Pages – 128
** COPY RECEIVED THROUGH NETGALLEY **
A great nostalgic trip back to my childhood, with gorgeous illustrations and vivid colour.
It was great to see Pink Panther up to new tricks, with the Inspector making some guest appearances. The inclusion of The Ant and the Ardvark slipped in between stories was a great addition.
It was a shame that all the stories were unconnected, but it felt like binge watching a few episodes, which there's nothing wrong with at all. For me, Scared Pink has to be my favourite; the movie theatre story was the funniest and most relatable story.

It was cool revisiting the Pink Panther & Friends, but now I'm trying to figure out why did I find the Pink Panther so funny years ago. Maybe it's better to watch the cartoons than reading the book.
Ummm... I could be losing my sense of humor.
Not! It was definitely the book.
The only saving grace was the stories with The Ant and the Aardvark, but even that fell short after the second story.

Took me back to the good old days of Pink Panther et al obsession. What I felt missed was the musical part only.

This review was previously published on NetGalley.
This definitely brought memories! When I was younger I saw all the episodes of the Pink Panther in the special 2-tape VHS collection and I couldn't get enough of it. This trip into the Pink Panther graphic novel was highly enjoyable for me!
I really enjoyed this volume, where fourteen story-lines of the Pink Panther will make any day brighter and you'll definitely end up laughing alone! The graphics and the colours are very good and the writing just completes the stories and the humour.
A quick, ideal read for a rainy or cold evening!

We join the Pink Panther and a cast of characters in this new comic collection; something that, as a fan, I was excited to get my hands on - so, thanks to Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors for making this available in exchange for an honest review.
This was a typical, old-fashioned comic filled with shorts that fit well with the style of The Pink Panther. Whilst it was a pleasant and nostalgic experience to read this, it wasn't particularly exciting or different; but perhaps this isn't what you're looking for from this comic. It keeps the spirit of the original alive with characteristic artwork and stories, including other characters to keep your interest. It is, however, a let-down that I found the Pink Panther'so segments to be the least funny, though. Even if you're not going to be blown away, this is a solid, quick nostalgic break from life as you know it.

I really like how Pink Panther was brought back. Some silent strips, some with thoughts. It still has that wonderful Tom and Jerry fell that has been cleaned out of most books. I also enjoy the side cartoon like the anteater. He was my favorite growing up. We need more books with anteaters I think.

I would like to thank netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute little volume of new Pink Panther comic stores that have been based on the original stories. I liked some of the drawing, however I didn't really find anything funny.
