More Reviews of “Lola: A Ghost Story”
17 January 2010 7:04 pm
“Lola: A Ghost Story” is now out in comic stores, and if you’re still on the fence about whether to buy a copy or not, perhaps some of the reviews will help convince you to buy a copy for yourself, and another for a loved one.
Comic Impact calls Lola “the sort of book that never gets old after how ever many reads.” Of my artwork, the reviewer writes, “What makes it so scary and surprising, is that the whole book is usually drawn in a lovely, romantic style where everything looks joyous and at ease…but then when you come across a monster it really catches you off guard.”
OneMetal gives the book a 3.5 out of 5 – “good stuff, definitely worth a look.”
Comic Book Resources has a review of the book as well, drawing parallels between my work and artist Paul Smith, which just made me absolutely giddy.

Hi Sir Elbert,
I would like to express my gratitude for your efforts in producing this book. I just bought a copy from Planet X Comics Glorietta. Read it and WOW! It was very familiar and could be easily mistaken as a local book and yet its published by indie giant ONIPRESS. Nice Binding and Printing. I had officemates read it and they all sad it was a goodbuy story and artwise. Good Job and i will be looking forward for the sequel or any book you both produce.
Thanks
Danry
