Peter Panzerfaust Volume 1: The Great Escape by Kurtis J. Wiebe

5.0

So this was one of the reading selections this month's meeting of a reading group I'm a member of. My first thought when I picked it up, knowing nothing but the title of the book, was if the title was an intentional play on "Peter Pan" or if it was a happy accident. I was pleased to learn that it was intentional. In the first couple of pages they kind smack you in the face with that revelation. Without going into too much detail. I loved how the classic story of Peter Pan is effortlessly adapted into a WWII story about a bunch of orphan boys fighting Nazis. And the artwork is fun to look at. All the characters are so animated and full of life. The style is playful and detailed like a Saturday morning cartoon.

End result: I recommend it. It's a fun book. I love the art. The story is intriguing. I'm definitely curious as to what happens next.
