Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On:   Blindspot!   The Graphic Novel by Kevin C. Pyle!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3670 - This graphic novel is about the following:

An evocative graphic novel about a boy growing out of childhood.

Dean and his friends have created an entire world in the woods behind their suburban housing development. In their army fantasy, they're at war, and Dean is the daring captain leading his troops through episodes of intrigue and danger.

But no fantasy can last forever. A run-in with a homeless man in the woods snaps the boys back to reality, and little by little the real world pervades their imagined universe and drives them apart.

Award-winning illustrator Kevin C. Pyle makes the popular graphic novel format accessible to middle-grade readers in this skillfully drawn and candidly written book. Blindspot tells the story of one boy's transition from childhood to adolescence in a way that will appeal to children and adults alike.

Okay, as we all know, the nature of war has been interpreted by every generation for a long, long time.

Plus, more often than not, people want to make sense of calamity.

So in Blindspot, there is a young boy in grade school who experiences war through fantasy.

Dean Tolleridge is the name of the young boy and is the plot’s central figure. He sets up the storyline by making a map of his life on pages 4 & 5 of the graphic novel.

Dean has just moved to a new town.  His main diversion is in play, of which playing 'ARMY' is a big part. So much so that he gets into trouble at school and on his 'battlefield'.

The storyline is written and illustrated by Kevin C Pyle, so he has full control of what he wants to present in this graphic novel.  The colors are limited in use on the interior pages. Which actually adds to the storyline!

I found this book to be interesting, and probably a good graphic novel for a younger person to read.  The storyline is fine for both teenagers and adult readership.

My comic book grade for this is a Very Fine Plus (VF+) 8.5 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale!

Kevin also has a web site for Blindspot that you can find here!
