Silent But Deadly: A Lio Collection

Lio is Back!

Kids have wild imaginations, but few of the things they dream up actually come to fruition. What would happen if there were a child for whom everything he imagined actually happened? And what if this child happened to have a predilection for monsters, sea creatures, and giant robots?

Cartoonist Mark Tatulli answers these questions in Silent but Deadly: Another Lio Collection (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $12.99) his second foray inside Lio's world. Lio is mischievous, yet lovable, and is fascinated with the supernatural. He can create almost anything he wants from everyday items—such as a robot out of a trash can and a jet pack out of his father's gas powered grill. In Lio, the dark and the fantastic can happen.

Part of this collection's charm lies in its sparse dialogue, which allows Tatulli to take full advantage of panel space and fill it with artwork. With its innovative style, and quirky humour, Silent but Deadly will delight comic fans, and it might even inspire you to purchase a pet squid.
