The
New York Times today has a great story entitled
No Laughs, No Thrills, and Villains All Too Real about Eric Heuvel's new graphic novel,
The Search, the story of a Jew in World War II Holland escaping from the Nazis. Heuvel's previous comic book,
A Family Secret, is one of my absolute favorite stories. It embraces moral choice, compelling characters, and real history all shared via the drawn-story medium of the graphic novel. Heuvel's style is a conscious homage to
Herge, the Belgian giant among illustrators, creator of
Tintin one of the prime inspirations of my own co-creation,
Howtoons, cartoons which show kids how to build things.
