This is a handsomely produced, chunky non-fiction volume
divided into 3 main parts. In the first Kinnaird provides us with a history of
comic creation and publishing in New Zealand – from the early 20th
century to the present day. Well illustrated with examples this, to me, was
easily the best part of the whole book. The second section gives us simple
biographies of a couple of dozen NZ comic creators along with samples of their
work. The last part is a collection of several NZ comic related articles and
even plans for a cut out model boat. Overall it’s a great book; the only thing
I found annoying was the needless repetition of some information.
