Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites by Evan Dorkin

5.0

I loved this book. The artwork is gorgeous, the characters engaging and heartfelt, and the stories full of adventure, intrigue and a fair amount of horror—exactly what you'd expect from a good comic. I finished it in less than a day and immediately logged on to Amazon to order my own copy. In some ways it reminds me a little of the Tintin books, which is my all-time favorite comic series; it has the same mix of tongue-in-cheek supernatural "genre savvy" and real adventure (although maybe a bit more gore than Hergé ever dared). I highly recommend this collection.
