En yakın dostu konuşan bir goril olan araba tamircisi Samantha'nın çalıştığı hurdalığın uzaylılarca ziyaret edilmesi ve hükümet yetkililerinin bu durumun farkına varmasıyla gelişen olayları ele alan 10 bölümlük bir kitap. Başlarda geyik bir hikaye görüntüsü verse de sonrasında Sam'in asker geçmişine dayalı travmalarını konu ederek gayet dokunaklı bir seri haline geliyor. Hikayenin UFO tarafı anlatıma biraz zarar vermiyor değil ama Sam merkezli dramaya eklemlenmesi gayet başarılı. Terry Moore'un beklenmedik derecede duyarlı tarzı ve başlarda yadırgasam da sonradan kendini sevdiren renksiz,siyah beyaz çizimleri kitabın başarısının temel unsurlarından.

Holy shirt, do I ever love Terry Moore. His clean, brisk, but highly detailed art, which goes from realistic to cartoony in a moment; his wild sense of humor; his utterly boss, bad-ass female characters. And I love everything about this deeply wacky story, which includes little green aliens, a talking gorilla, a senior citizen playing tennis in ruffle-butt panties, and some surprisingly poignant thoughts on trauma, PTSD, and the military-veteran experience. This one's a short, wild ride that kept me guessing the entire time, and it's great. It's also a terrific introduction to his work, which is normally much longer and more in-depth: it's got all these familiar Moore hallmarks, but in accessible bite-size.

Un po' comico, un po' drammatico, disegni stupendi. Orrore della guerra, salute mentale, immaginazione e realtà.

Fantastic read, great art-work and great writing.
Give this one a chance!

Terry Moore does what he does best, combining comedy with gut-punching "trauma".
10/10 Would read again!

This is great. Really enjoyed this book.

This is about a army vet named Sarah. She helps out at an car junkyard. She has a gorilla friend that she talks to when aliens come to the junkyard. When this happens there are people who want the junkyard.

It was a good story. I really enjoyed what happened and I wanted to know what was going to happen.

I enjoyed the characters and the story.

I want to read more of Terry Moore's books.

I had no idea what this was when i started but i ended up really liking it. The art was especially good. His characters are so expressive.
