Maiden Voyage by Kibiushi was another favorite. In this story Hugo is notified by a hummingbird that there is a package to be taken by relay to The Great Seer, and Hugo is supposed to carry it for the first leg of the journey. One of my favorites was Jake Parker's Hugo Earheart, featuring a young boy who had both a flying whale named Grim AND a flying pig (named Limburg).
The pictures, the colors, the stories were all so interesting and creative. I have since done a bit of research about this series and about editor (and graphic novelist) Kazu Kibuishi, and I can tell I will be buying more titles not only in this series, but in others he has edited. This is the first volume in a series of graphic novels with the theme of flight, interpreted in various ways by the artists the editor has chosen. When I was searching my favorite online bookseller's graphic novel section for the Astro Boy titles I've ordered, I kept noticing this book and since I have no will power when it comes to used books, I ordered it too.
