The Encyclopedia of Early Earth
Isabel Greenberg - 2013
The people who roamed Early Earth were much like us: curious, emotional, funny, ambitious, and vulnerable.

There, he meets his true love, but their romance is ill-fated. Early Earth's unusual and finicky polarity means the lovers can never touch. As intricate and richly imagined as the work of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit that rivals Kate Beaton's in Hark! A Vagrant, Isabel Greenberg's debut will be a welcome addition to the thriving graphic novel genre.
