The Unexpurgated Tale of Lordie Jones – Volume GN
£7.99
This comic has a real nice feel to it, by which I mean the texture before you even open the cover.
Inside, some smooth, sepia art with cross-hatching that doesn’t hurt to look at retells “an obscure Caribbean folktale” about a boy who tries to cheat the Tooth Fairy and gets a pig growing in his fanny for his confidence efforts.
This is a fun little tale, and but for the swearing and terrifying Tooth Fairy, could be a long-lost Roald Dahl tale.
Artist Marc Ngui might want to consider redrawing a few pages and passing this one around the children’s market in a clean version, but he doesn’t need to do anything to improve the version we see here.
