STAFF PICKS :: PRIMATES: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas :: JUNE 19, 2013
RICO’S PICK :: PRIMATES: The Fearless Science of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas: Jim Ottaviani has been making entertaining non-fiction comics for years now and when I heard he had Maris Wicks on art duty for his latest I was very excited! Ottaviani and Wicks have put together an informative book that never gets dry and is always entertaining. This is the kind of book you can give to someone who hasn’t fallen in love with comics yet to turn them on to the wonderful world of sequential art. I give this book 5 bananas way up!
Ottaviani and Wicks were on a fascinating Young Adults Graphic novel panel at HeroesCon. The idea for the panel was suggested by young Mr. Renzi. If this book is half as good as the panel, it will be terrific!!
