Curses by Kevin Huizenga
#60 in my 2007 book challenge was Curses, a graphic novel by Keven Huizenga. This is smart storytelling. Huizenga’s style is deceptively simplistic, more reminiscent of newspaper comics than literary comics like Maus and Persepolis. Yet its in these ranks it belongs, I feel. Mixing mythology, history, religion and the quotidian with a well done and accessible art style, Curses is not easily categorized, and certainly not easily forgotten. Not light reading, but worth the time and effort.
