This novel does not expound on that childish nonsesical novel carol wrote that became a childhood standard. This is a more profound piece focusing on the "What If." What if it was all true that wonderland existed what if it happned this way or that way. Hatter Maddigans hat is also hardly a magical carnage machine to put an end to a great many then return to a hat. This series is an amazing literary piece.

This book is amazing, and one of the few books I haven't been able to read through since grade school. I think whoever wrote this article is ignorant and childish themselves.

His coloration is something I haven't seen anywhere else and it fits his linework quite well, IMHO (or minimizes its shortcomings). BTW: I only noticed Templesmith because of this project, since I'm not into horror, which seems to be his primary subject. But since then I also started with "Wormood: Gentleman Corpse", because it's more of a horror comedy than straight splatter. Well, I actually like Templesmith’s style.

First you gotta... no, no that's not it. Wait, I got it. See first you have to... hmmm... no, that's not it either. Oh, I know you simply have to.... hmmmm. Perhaps viewing it upside down?

In fairness, I've read the novel and it's much, much less violent than the comic is probably leading you to expect. It's a genuine children's novel and skews a good five to ten years younger than the comic seems to be aiming for. There's a war on in the novel, and characters do die, but it's not a blood-and-guts extravaganza of the sort you're probably imagining. “That’s just too much violence inserted into a childhood classic for me to be comfortable with it.”
