Check it out as the review also includes a review of Trondheim’s Kaput & Zosky. If you are interested in more commentary: Chris at The Graphic Classroom has an excellent review (as can be expected). Tiny Tyrant is a great set of comics with something for both kids and adults. Trondheim has a great sense of humor and imagination and his vocab isn’t too shabby either. The image above is a fine sampling of the pages, which are not hard to follow. You’ll also note that the stories are told without framed panels. There are12 stories in this collection and instead of white pages throughout, each story is tinted a pastel. The daughter read them out loud and re-read this volume a few times, laughing out loud each time. The drawing has an old school cartoon feel. Join them in a wild romp through the corridors of power, where a pint-sized leader is the boss of you. Trondheim’s deliciously inventive writing is perfectly matched by Parmes’ tribute to the classic animation of Mr. See you King Ethelbert swap his country’s kids for Ethelbert robots, test his own bodyguard’s mettle by putting a price on his own head, shrink the world down to his size, bring a dinosaur back from the past…And that only a tiny taste of the zaniness ahead. Welcome to Portocristo, its clear skies, sandy beaches, bustling streets-and its spoiled rotten, six-year-old king.Īnything he says goes, no matter how bizarre or harebrained. Shopped from First Second’s site and checked out at the Library. Tiny Tyrant by Lewis Trondheim and Frabrice Parme I recommend them both, and not just for juvenile audiences.
