Enter the world of Courtney Crumrin where the
concept of being afraid of the dark doesn't exist.
Courtney Crumin and her parents, who she kindly refers to as
dumb asses, move in with her eccentric uncle. At first Courtney is not
pleased to have been moved from the place she grew up. That is until
Courtney discovers that her
uncle is a warlock and begins to study witchcraft.
Ted Naifeh, the
author and writer, has made it a point not to make Courtney good or
evil. While Courtney is capable of horrible things, she is also just
trying to get through junior high. While many comic books lack a
great plot and writing to go with the pictures, this comic truly
delivers.
The artwork showcased in this series is amazing. Naifeh puts a lot of
effort into the pages, leaving nothing out. With complicated
backgrounds and characters, the pictures themselves could stand alone
and tell the story.
For example in this picture of Uncle Aloysius, the details showcase his
personality as a serious older man with a peculiar hobby.

As
well as this one of Courtney's which shows her as a somewhat skeptical
person, who may act fearless at times is still just a girl.
