Evil Duck and the Feather of Fortune
Publisher: Gill Books
Twin ducks Eddie and Flo are staying with their grandad, and when they discover a secret attic with a frozen Evil Duck in it, they realise Grandad has a very exciting past.
Many years ago, as Fearless Frank Duck, he fought and captured his previous friend, Evil Duck. Now there’s a big red button on the frozen pod that says ‘do not touch’, and Eddie can’t resist pressing it... which means that Evil Duck is unfrozen and on the loose again! Can the twins and Fearless Frank defeat Evil Duck once more and save Ducklin City?
This colourful, funny graphic novel is quite quackers. There is a lot of silliness, quite a few references to baddies like Dr Evil, and an eclectic cast of ducks, seagulls, beetles, and fish people.
The plot is easy to follow, and there are visual jokes throughout, meaning that fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey will also enjoy this. This is the first graphic novel from Irish author-illustrator Chris Judge, and it doesn't disappoint.
Bright and action-paced, this is great fun, though, like most graphic novels, it’s worth noting that the text is entirely in upper case.
