Something hunts people on the outskirts of town...
Sam and Lielet are two new friends living in Ethiopia. They're dealing with the kind of problems that all kids have: judgmental social cliques, condescending adults, alienation... and a legendary brain-eating monster straight out of folklore. Sure, it's not going to be easy, but all they have to do is live through it.
Showcasing a quietly unsettling plot and building tension similar to NICK DRNASO's Sabrina and ADRIAN TOMINE's Killing and Dying, debut creative team NICHOLAS AFLLEJE and SARAH DeLAINE construct a poignant story of otherness and mystery.
Writer Nicolas Aflleje and artist Sarah Delaine make for one hell of a team. They are comfortable with their collaboration right from the get go. The colors in this book by Ashley Lanni deserve a mention too as they are quite excellent. You can't get much better than this. Read Full Review
While I highly recommend this graphic novel, I hope that the creative team will take their time and bring a more cohesive tale to their readers in future offerings. If you liked Brain K. Vaughn's Pride of Bagdad or Grant Morrison's WE3, then there is a lot of fun to be had here. If you're looking for smooth and flashy entertainment then you would be better suited to look elsewhere, as Little Girls is all heart, but rough around the edges. Read Full Review
