El Bizzaron: part legend, all trickster. Otherwise known as Ancient Joe, an ancient creature made up of wood and flesh, this mysterious character is wonderfully captured in this sparsely drawn graphic novel by illustrator and writer C. Scott Morse. His simple drawings perfectly match the two fantastical stories that make up the graphic novel starring the intriguingly human Ancient Joe. Join him hitching a ride with two mischievous youngsters who recount how he tricked the devil, and follow him on his quest to hell and back to find out of his wife has been taken in revenge. Includes a bibliography for further reading exploring the mythology of Ancient Joe for those who are intrigued by this memorable character.
