I just finished reading a graphic novel called Return of the Dapper Men by Jim McCann and illustrated by Janet Lee. How can I describe it? Is it a children's book? A fantasy tale? A hallucinogenic romp? All I know is that it contains 128 pages of some of the most beautiful artwork work I've seen in the genre, and story is filled with wonderful imaginings. The dialog is superb; on one level, it reminds me of dialog I wrote as a child, yet on another there is a depth that could only occur to a mature mind. The story had a unique rhythm. Characters often speak as if things to come were already past. Time, after all, is central to this story of what happened in a town one very long day when for some unexplained reason, tock ceased to follow tick.

Highly recommended for adults of all ages, and children may enjoy it.
