A review by blairmahoney
Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen by Dylan Horrocks

5.0

Wonderful new graphic novel from the unprolific but highly respected NZ comics artist/writer, author of the influential Hicksville. Blurbed by Alison Bechdel, Scott McCloud and Craig Thompson, which shows you the kind of people who like his stuff. Strangely enough it reminded me most of a children's book, Charlie Cook's Favourite Book, by Julia Donaldson and Axel Schleffer (of The Gruffalo fame), with its stories within stories.
