Phil Yeh's Patrick Rabbit / Patricio el Conejo #12
Creators: Phil Yeh, various guest artists (Sergio Aragonés, José Quintero, Gaby Maya, Klaus Leven, Geoff Bevington and Jon Murakami)
32 pages, $2.95
So? Cartoonist Phil Yeh founded Cartoonists Across America & the World in 1985 after meeting Wally Famous Amos, the national spokesperson for Literacy Volunteers of America. and he's baked up a semi-sweet tale here with the 12th issue of his edutaining series starring Patrick Rabbit.
The book's hook and draw is that it is done in English and Spanish, a tough feat when looking at the constraints of word balloons and letter boxes. It definitely looks crowded, but no more so than some of the wordy, indie, black-and-white comics out there.
The art is passable, and even with melding so many artists and their characters, is seamless. The story is a tale of Patrick and his friend Maria going on a "mission" for the Candy Queen that leads the duo through Californian and Mexican locales. A lot of info and a lot of characters are shuffled in and out, but those familiar shouldn't be too lost. Yeh's messages and historical references are sometimes a bit heavy-handed for older kids and too intricate for smaller kids, but at least they're out there. Grade: C
