Gray Horses took me right back to when I read Shaun Tan’s
The Arrival, only because the book is very picture based but it does have text
I just feel the images are strong individually.
The premise of the story is to come to age to be mature and
it tells this in a interesting and inspiring way. Some of the most interesting
parts were the choices of shapes and colors; the peach sepia tone color that is
carefully placed in each panel is to mean a remembrance. Also it is a way to play with light in such a
simple shape based design.
The story was interesting, and felt very feminine which was
something that I haven’t noticed in many comics. The feeling of something you
are reading to have a human and organic like quality to it becomes attractive
and enthralling.
