Welcome back to another exciting discussion of It's Lonely At The Centre Of The Earth! MMP continues where they left off last week by comparing Zoe Thorogood’s masterpiece to other comics from other well-established comic book creators. The focus this week is on the techniques used by Thorogood to deliver the comic’s message. What makes this comic stand out is the masterful use of art to bring home the story’s themes. Whereas the majority of comic books tend to have more focus on the words to establish a narrative, this novel breaks that trend by putting art front and center. The art combined with the presentation creates a truly unique reading experience. By presenting this as a biography, the emotions being presented are rawer than if the comic had been written as a work of fiction. Although not a superhero-based comic, It’s Lonely At The Centre Of The Earth is a must-read for any comic book fan who wants to see the genre get pushed in new and exciting ways.
