Grease Monkey Volume 1 - Hard Cover

This sizable chunk of a read is a practical lesson in effectively combining such disparate genres as sf, coming-of-age drama, comedy, and romance. Arriving aboard the space station Fist of Earth, Robin Plotnik is apprenticed to Mac, superevolved simian mechanic for the Barbarian Squadron, an all-female team of space-fighter jockeys running combat maneuvers as they await their impending call to war. The evolving story contains trenchant commentary on racism, politics, animal rights, dating, family, loyalty, and the importance of books, and while its length may prove intimidating at first, the identifiable characters and the depth of the insights add up to something greater than the sum of the individual episodes--a rare commodity in graphic novels: wisdom. Eldred's character art serves the lighthearted tone well, while his beautifully designed and detailed spaceships make his obvious interest in aerospace technology absolutely contagious. An occasional burst of adult language ("You son of a . . . .") and a rather unflattering depiction of a librarian may give a few readers pause. Jesse Karp Copyright © American Library Association.
