Kana is too young to go fishing with his father and brothers but that doesn’t prevent him from wanting to have adventures of his own. Those adventures come easily when one lives on a largely unexplored island where people are warned away from the dangers that may lurk on the other side. Kana’s youthful curiosity, when combined with a mischievous frog, ensures he’ll find out what lies beyond Hoopa Koopa Mountain, one way or another.
Comic books are commonly described as being for children but the vast majority of them skew slightly older.
Many of the comics written for children, meanwhile, are too childish for adults to enjoy. This title however achieves its stated goal of being a “children’s book in the form of a comic.” The innocent adventures of island boy Kana are written and drawn with cartoony charm by Mark Page.
Review written by Andy Richardson of Atomic Avenue
I’ve self published a 32 page comic book about Kana’s Island in 2005 and sold it online at the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con, as well as filled distribution orders to sell it in comic stores. I’ve had plenty of experience with delivering projects large and small well on time to meet deadlines. This Graphic novel is close to being completed and the files will be sent to my printer by the end of January with books printed by March or early April so the risk is extremely minimal with this project.
