Grtaphic Novel Friday Chicagoland Detecive Agency: The Brain Drain Caper Trina Robbins

[Giovanni Gelati]

I was really surprised by this when I opened the pages. I knew absolutely nothing about the author, Trina Robbins or this series. What an eye opener! Trina Robbins has been writing for thirty, yes I said thirty years.
Her website is @ http://www.trinarobbins.com/; it is cute and very informative. She has penned a
variety of graphic novels; just the covers give you a glimpse into the
diversity of her work.

My fingers cramp up just typing the title to this graphic novel: Chicagoland Detective Agency: The Drained Brains Caper. I enjoyed many things about this: the artwork was
really good, the dialogue was engaging, the characters were spot on, the
plotline was enjoyable and the young adult theme was refreshing. Trina Robbins
has put together a very nice graphic novel and one that can be shared with the
whole family. I like the fact I can share this with my youngest children and
discuss the reading experience. That now a days is difficult as far too many
cross lines that don’t need to be crossed.

Here is a bit from the graphic novel itself: “Raf knows Megan is trouble from the moment she steps into his mom's pet food store asking for a tarantula. But there's one thing you can count on in Chicagoland: weird
things happen several times a day.

Megan is a vegetarian, manga-reading haiku writer. She definitely doesn't fit in at Stepford Academy, her new summer school. The other students are happy to be in class. Too happy. And everyone looks and acts
exactly alike. That's weird.

Megan is determined to dig into Stepford's secrets, but soon she's in way too deep. Raf may be the only human being she knows who can help. But with zombified students, very mad scientists, and the school psychiatrist
on their trail, they're going to need a whole lot more help.

We did say that Chicagoland is weird...”

I hope that you give this graphic novel a chance, pick it up, and have some fun that doesn’t come from the DC/Marvel stable. Trina Robbins delivers the total package here and then some.
