![]() ![]() Another gem this July is Seagle & Kristiansen’s reunion on the compelling Einsteinian graphic novel Genius and Shannon O’Leary & Joan Reilly’s anthology The Big Feminist But (above). In a way, Loisel does for the original Peter Pan what the musical Wicked does for The Wizard of Oz. ![]() Barrie play, extrapolating Peter’s traumatic background in Victorian London and adding motivation to his need to escape to Neverland and never grow up. One major highlight is Soaring Penguin’s audacious release of the complete Peter Pan by Régis Loisel, a gripping expansion and enhancement of the J.M. Slightly slimmer pickings perhaps this time round, but my July 2013 PG Tips are all the better for being cherry-picked for their excellence, intelligence, humanity and wit, and their welcome dearth of spandex, chainmail bikinis, blokes with guns, dreary dystopias, franchise re-treads and blockbuster-itis. ![]()
