Space Dumplins by Craig Thompson

lucardus's review against another edition

4.0

Craig Thompson hat ein im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes buntes Weltraumabenteuer geschaffen, in dem drei Kinder die tragende Rolle spielen. Mit viel Witz, aber ohne flach zu werden, spinnt er eine Geschichte, die zwar für Hard-SFler zweifellos eher als Fantasy durchgeht, die aber originell ist, nicht ohne Anspielungen und mit vielen Ideen durchsetzt, die auch Kindern sicher Vergnügen bereiten werden, auch wenn die Geschichte eine Ebene enthält, die sicher nur älteren Semestern zugänglich ist. Beide Generationen werden gut bedient, zumindest behauptet das der 12-jährige Junge in mir.

Wie die Übersetzung im Vergleich zum Original gelungen ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen, da ich die englische Ausgabe gelesen habe.

Empfehlenswert für Kinder und Erwachsene ab 12, würde ich sagen, aber ich denke, auch jüngere, die schon andere Comics gelesen haben oder insgesamt belesen sind, dürften hier auf ihre Kosten kommen.

Hodně cením smysluplnou zápletku, slovní hříčky a vizuální úpravu, je to fakt krásný. Jen ten humor mě už občas trošku míjel, ale to je prostě daný tím, že nejsem cílovka. :)

Great art, quick paced adventure, and characters who have a humanity not normally seen in a comic. Would recommend to middle graders looking for a comic with a little more depth.

3.5. As a graphic novel, I really really enjoyed it. As a graphic novel for kids, I'm not as sure. It was definitely more grown-up humor, not in an inappropriate way, just in a kids might not think it's that funny kind of way.

My daughter has been wanting me to read this forever now. It was beautifully illustrated and had a wonderful theme.

I love Craig Thompson's body of work and I love that he wrote and drew a GN for younger readers. The galaxies are rich and the characters are wacky; it's a cool dive into a Star Wars + Adventure Time kind of thing. I had to skim it though, because the depth of the art just was not for me.

This was a cute and silly story. Definitely for kids or tweens. The plot moved along quickly and there was an abundance of actions and laughs. Best of all, for me, is that the book had real heart. I enjoyed it.
