As colorful as it is
entertaining, Space Dog is the
story of a regular farm dog’s adventure into the big city, into space and into
fame. Textless graphic literature is a particular favorite of mine, as it
forces the artist/storyteller to use the medium in its most perfected form—to
tell a story without words, using only pictures. It is ironic how often graphic
storytellers rely on the written word to carry their story, but not Dorgathen.
The story is comic and delightful. Each panel blends into the next in a clear,
yet abstract, almost cubist way, offering, as some of the best graphic
literature does, wonderful, individual panels easily enjoyable on their own and
best enjoyed in a streaming, left to right, composition. A great book!
