Dear Creature by Jonathan Case
3.0
This dark and delightfully cheesy story in graphic novel form is something you might have expected to find in the old Weird Tales Magazine. A sea monster with formal and flowery speech patterns longs to stop dining on beach-goers and instead wishes to find his true love. A chorus of wise-cracking crabs are his constant companions as he searches for the woman who has been throwing corked bottles filled with pages from Shakespeare's plays into the water, which he has salvaged and enjoyed. His forays onto land cause all kinds of excitement as he attempts to fulfill his dreams.
Jonathan case wrote and illustrated this highly entertaining graphic novel. The artwork is done all in black and white, no gray shading, and it's stark, lovely, and comical, as is the story. At 180+ pages, it makes for a couple of fun hours of reading.
