A Quokka Dreeds its Weird

Mely made a post discussing recent manga and comic books which made me run out and buy some. I can't improve upon her descriptions of Fuyumi Soryo's Eternal Sabbath or Hope Larson's Gray Horses, except to say that I adored them both and highly recommend them to anyone.

The first is spooky, sometimes funny, and pits a charmingly obsessive woman scientist against a mysterious young man with the power to, among other things, make people think he's a member of their family. The second is sweet and wistful and reminds me a bit of Carla Speed McNeil's Finder, a bit of everywhere I've ever traveled to, and a bit of being a child and reading some classic kids' book for the first time.
