Review from "GraphicNovelReporter.com"

From GraphicNovelReporter.com: "Folkloric stories are powerful. They can be emotional, funny, uplifting, or scary. But they always have pull to them, and that’s why they continue to haunt and entertain people." Read the review.

'Trickster' on NPR

Listen for a segment on Trickster on NPR Weekend Edition Sunday with Liane Hansen this weekend, somewhere in the 8:40 to 9 a.m. EST slot. :) As a bonus, the program's Web site will feature art from "How Wildcat Caught a Turkey" (by Jon Sperry) with a voiceover by storyteller Joseph Stands With Many.
