Add a Commentyou guys should try kazu kibuishi's amulet series i read all available in the world and it is great
Kazu Kibuishi edits and contributes one evocative, open-ended story to this Amulet-related anthology. Explorer: The Mystery Boxes features 7 tales in a wide range of art and storytelling styles. Great intro to new authors and artists.
Kazu Kibuishi's follow-up anthology to the award-winning Flight series, Explorer: The Mystery Boxes continues in much the same vein with an eclectic mix of beautiful stories geared toward readers of all ages. While the seven shorts, all centered around mysterious boxes, feature excellent art and superior storytelling, several of the tales excel. The creepy opening contribution "Under the Floorboards" by Emily Carroll, the clever "The Keeper's Treasure" by Jason Caffoe, Rad Sechrist's charming "The Butter Thief," and Kibuishi's foreboding "The Escape Option" showcase some of the best of the form.
A nice little anthology, readable and entertaining, that showcases some talented people. No more, no less.
Kudos to the various Authors of this book. Seven great stories.
