review 1: Not a muppet fan, which is the only thing I knew Jim Henson by (okay, scratch that, apperantly the Labyrinth!, but all that stuck with me were the muppets...), but somebody suggested I read it because they thought a story of mine had a similar idea/feel.They were right. The book is, very different from what I was working on, it's the sort of wacky you don't come across often, but they were right that it had a similar feel and that I'd like it (even though the setting didn't particularly attract me).Looking at it as a comic / for the art, some of the color schemes didn't do it for me, but I liked the style. And the lack of words was awesome! Pure visual story telly! Really wish it'd been a silent short film or something.
review 2: Spotted on library's Graphic No... morevel shelf - checked it out, took it home & read thru it... well, "read" isn't quite the word, as the book is 95% visual. Based on the unproduced screenplay by Henson & Juhl, Ramon K Perez puts his own spin on the story of a man who is roped into a race across the Southwest desert, while pursued by various parties. It is surreal, with a plot that jumps from scene to scene, touching on themes of confusion and alienation. It's an interesting way to share this screenplay; and I think Jim would have enjoyed it. Worth at least a library read if you're a fan of Jim Henson's/Jerry Juhl's (and/or Ramon K Perez's) work. less
