Monsters! by Gustavo Duarte

[essentialsaltes]

Monsters! is a graphic novel -- a collection of three short wordless stories by Brazilian artist Duarte. The book from Dark Horse is beautiful, and I appreciated the foreword from Sergio Aragones (Yay!), who spells out how Duarte fits into something of a tradition of, what, Hispanic(?) Iberian(?) comic art. Being without dialog, the stories are somewhat simple, but enjoyable, from a humorous alien abduction to a Twilight Zone-y appointment with fate to the monster-hunting title story.
