I liked The Cosmic Collector better than Slade's first Korgi book, maybe because I liked the plot better. The antagonist is creepy! The action is more interesting in this chapter, too.
And of course everything (except the creepy villain) is just as adorable as it was in the first book.

Art is not a competition or something can win, but if it was Korgi would take every medal and award.
I remain utterly flabbergasted at how rich the storytelling is, purely conveyed by images, and how just how beautiful and details the black and white sktch art is. Truly a wondrous, joyous book and series that makes the world a significantly brighter and now magical place simply through existing.
I'm also absolutely loving the increasing sci-fi/ science fantasy elements and tie emerging ongoing emerging narrative with the eldtirch alien whose crashed spaceship was seen in the first volume.

This book is a TRIP. Fairy child, fire-breathing corgi, and...aliens? Sure, why not? It's fun, and cute, and I always appreciate a textless story.

Honestly I’m between a 4 and 5 star rating. This book is excellent. It’s so cute and imaginative and adorable. Plus corgis/korgis are adorable, and in the book they breathe fire and live with faeries (or Mollies as they call them).

The illustrations simply could not be any more delightful. And I already have a soft spot for corgis, since we had one for a pet as I grew up.

Another beautifully illustrated and imaginative installment of Ivy and Sprout’s adventures. This time, they face a Cthulhu-like monster stealing fairy wings. The darkness of the plot is countered with cuteness, heartwarming reminders of the power of friendship, and the rewards of courageously fighting for others. I wish there were 100+ volumes of this delightful graphic novel!
