“Watson creates a sweetly spooky underworld setting for a story that’s part coming-of-age romance, part comedy of manners. With an amusing (and occasionally decomposing) cast of floating skulls, eyeballs-on-skeleton-legs, and more, it’s a comic that will charm younger readers and adults alike.”
“Princess Decomposia is a delightful story for kids and adults, and Watson’s deceptively casual inked panels are one reason why. His character design is elegantly simple, so these cartoony inhuman figures are able to feel and display a thrillingly human range of emotions.”
“Watson’s illustrations are raw and inviting, definitely making it an all-ages friendly style. The characters he creates are wonderfully charming, from the most mangled of zombies to the most dapper of werewolves.”
“A much loved graphic novel that I will thoroughly enjoy over and over again!”
“Like Watson’s other work, expect surprising depth from the relationships between the king, the princess, and the vampire.”
“Watson’s creativity shines, with the story and the illustrations marrying together nicely.”
“all-around adorable and very, very sweet.”
“…neither underestimates nor talks down to its audience with linguistically or visually infantile clichés.”
“Princess Decomposia and Count Spatula is a delightful and fun graphic novel for all ages.”
“a winning story of love, death and desserts.”
I love this sweet story. Some may call it quirky, but for kids like me, who grew up with The Addams Family and The Munsters, this hit the spot. It’s a great story of friendship and family, with fun black and white art that will appeal to tween readers and older.
“This romance is really sweet and charming. The characters in this story are so much fun and really crazy, yet I couldn’t stop reading. There’s excellent humour and the book just oozes with charm.”
“PRINCESS DECOMPOSIA AND COUNT SPATULA was really cute. It’s one of those graphic-novels that you can bolt down in a single sitting (although I don’t recommend reading it on an empty stomach. Mine is growling from all those fictitious desserts). And that ending was perfect. I grinned all huge when I came to the last page.”
“The book is perfect for all ages.”
