review 1: I really like what Eddie Campbell has been doing with his art lately. His newer stuff doesn't really look like his older stuff and it definitely doesn't look anything like what anyone else is doing in comics. Everything about it is so refreshing and new and yet comfortingly familiar as well. It's too bad that the narrative it's attached to seems a little light. I almost wanted to give this four stars, but who knows, maybe on a future read...
review 2: Surprisingly good. Eddie Campbell is a great artist, if not a great cartoonist, and this story, of a circus showman who inherited his uncle's tightroping gig in the early part of the 20th century, and grew to love his circus family, lends itself more to artistic flights of fancy than to straightforward cartoon... moreing. Plus there are pages from Leotard's water-logged diary thrown in! Though it is something of a World's Greatest Mustaches book, it's still pretty darn good, especially for you, First Second. less
