<span style="font-family: inherit;">Vigorously rendered in striking graphic format, this robust anthology of 21 Native American folktales features a bevy of wily rascals in a veritable smorgasbord of trickster tales. Told in the words of Native American storytellers from many nations, these tales use the trickster to teach moral lessons and explain such natural events as how the rabbit got its puffy tail, why the buzzard has no feathers on its head, why the owl guards burial sites or why geese fly in a V formation. Relying on cunning and craft to survive, outwit and amuse, the tricksters include coyote, raven, rabbit, raccoon, wolf, beaver and dog as well as human tricksters like Moshup, Ishjinki and Waynaboozhoo. Each tale is illustrated by a different artist in strikingly different styles, some comic and some realistic but all surprisingly suited to their stories, while the graphic sequencing provides action and emotional detail only suggested by the storyteller. Packaged in a chunky, square-shaped volume, this unique collection of Native American folklore invites readers to sample and savor each colorful, wily tale.

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><em>Publishers Weekly</em> (04/26/2010):<br />
</strong></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">These 21 folktales, created by pairing Native storytellers with a variety of artists, feature creatures explaining how things came to be, like islands or stars, or animals playing tricks on one another. Often, the trickster, while trying to take the lazy way, outwits himself, especially when it involves Coyote. In other tales, Raven does whatever people tell him not to do, but ends up with a free meal anyway, and Rabbit tricks some buffalo and wolves and is tricked by Fox into losing his tail. Many of the stories, some of which involve tribespeople as well as animals, are told through captions, as though listening to an elder and envisioning the images he describes. Micah Farritor’s art in "Coyote and the Pebbles" and Dembicki’s in "Azban (Raccoon) and the Crayfish" are standouts in their animal images. The diverse styles are presented in lavish color in this thick, handsome volume. The short collection of contributor bios at the end is a helpful resource for finding more about the artists’ credits or the writers’ heritage. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><em>School Library Journal</em> (May 2010):</strong></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
(Starred review) </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
More than 40 storytellers and cartoonists have contributed to this original and provocative compendium of traditional folklore presented in authentic, colorful, and engaging sequential art. The stories are drawn from a variety of Native peoples across North America, and so the trickster character appears variously as Rabbit, a raccoon, Coyote, and in other guises; landscapes, clothing and rhythms of speech and action also vary in keeping with distinct traditions. Realistic, impressionistic, painterly, and cartoon styles of art are employed to echo and announce the tone of each tale and telling style, making this a rich visual treasure as well as cultural trove. Contributors include well-known author Joseph Bruchac, Pueblo storyteller Eldrena Douma, cartoonist and Smithsonian Institution employee Evan Keeling, and many who have not worked in comics heretofore as well as cartoonists with no previous allegiance to telling Native stories with their art. The total package is accessible, entertaining, educational, inspiring, and a must-have for all collections.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><em>Booklist </em>(American Library Association, May 2010):</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Starred review)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This graphic-format collection of Native American tales featuring an old folk favorite—the trickster—hits an impressive trifecta of achievements. First, it’s a wildly successful platform for indie-comic creators and an excellent showcase for their distinctive styles. From David Smith and Jerry Carr's heroic, animation-inspired “Trickster and the Great Chief” to the Looney Toons zaniness of “Rabbit’s Chocktaw Tail Tale” by Tim Tingle and Pat Lewis, there’s a bit of visual panache here for every taste. Second, with the exception of a stray X-Man or two and an obscure DC sword-and-sorcery character, this is the first graphic novel to really focus on Native American themes and events, a surprising absence that this book remedies with respect and imagination. Lastly, as Native American folklore is so directly tied to the culture’s spirituality, this proves the rare graphic novel that handles such issues without specifically attaching them to standard religious practices. With stories that vary in emotional tone, matching the ever-shifting appearance and character of the trickster himself and the lessons he teaches and learns, this collection is an ideal choice for dipping into over and over. A dandy read for those interested in history, folklore, adventure, humor, or the arts, and a unique contribution to the form.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432151000099439096.post-67093305922265108452010-04-26T08:56:00.000-07:002010-04-26T09:22:28.209-07:00Return from SPACE!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at the <a href="http://www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm">Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo</a> this weekend!

“Here’s a book that got me a lot more excited: Trickster, an anthology of Native American trickster tales. I’m not generally a big fan of folk tales, but the writing and the art really shine in this lively compilation. The stories are all written by Native American storytellers, so the tales are authentic, and the art is varied but always of high quality. I gave this book the ultimate test recently—I read one of the stories aloud to a class of fifth-graders—and they loved it. (The fact that the story was about a rabbit whose butt got stuck to a frozen lake probably helped.) The book is beautifully produced and a great read.”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432151000099439096.post-10675264706614962232010-03-23T02:30:00.001-07:002010-03-23T02:30:52.750-07:00'Trickster' previewed @ Graphic Novel ReporterThe Graphic Novel Reporter offers a <a href="http://graphicnovelreporter.com/content/trickster-native-american-tales-0">sneak peek</a> at a few <i>Trickster</i> pages.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432151000099439096.post-50448847136814397102010-03-13T03:19:00.000-08:002010-03-13T03:19:34.896-08:00Brief review by GoodReads.com<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/91046284">Tiny Librarian</a> from GoodReads.com says: "Great collection of 21 Native American tales. All of the tales are told by Native American storytellers who chose the artists that they would work with to illustrate the stories in this collection. Definitely a more modern way to showcase these stories, instead of just sending kids/teens to the 398s in the library!"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432151000099439096.post-55006905592140338922010-03-10T11:38:00.000-08:002010-03-10T11:48:11.485-08:00Promo text for 'Trickster'Here's the <a href="http://www.fulcrum-books.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=6063">Fulcrum promo text</a> for<i> Trickster</i>:<br />
<br />
All cultures have tales of the trickster-a crafty creature or being who uses cunning to get food, steal precious possessions, or simply cause mischief. He disrupts the order of things, often humiliating others and sometimes himself. In Native American traditions, the trickster takes many forms, from coyote or rabbit to raccoon or raven. The first graphic anthology of Native American trickster tales, Trickster brings together Native American folklore and the world of comics.<br />
<br />
n Trickster, more than twenty Native American tales are cleverly adapted into comic form. Each story is written by a different Native American storyteller who worked closely with a selected illustrator, a combination that gives each tale a unique and powerful voice and look. Ranging from serious and dramatic to funny and sometimes downright fiendish, these tales bring tricksters back into popular culture in a very vivid form. From an ego-driven social misstep in "Coyote and the Pebbles" to the hijinks of "How Wildcat Caught a Turkey" and the hilarity of "Rabbit's Choctaw Tail Tale," Trickster provides entertainment for readers of all ages and backgrounds.<br />
