The Stuff of Legend: The Dark (Book One)

Mike Raicht

Oh my God, this was an amazing read.  It’s about this group of toys that venture into “the Dark” to rescue their owner, a boy who was taken by the boogie monster (who looks both terrifying and awesome).  It sounds cheesy, but holy smokes it’s a great story.

The art is phenomenal.  Charles Paul Wilson III, the artist, does such a perfect job that I was hooked from the start.  The characters are great, the plot is awesome and reading it gave me the same nostalgic tingles I get whenever I watch Toy Story.  Also, there’s an adorable puppy in the story.  I think he might be a Basset Hound.  Sho cute.

I highly recommend you pick up this volume–the villains are creepy, the heroes are valiant and anyone who has ever loved a toy will adore the plot.  Why are you still reading this?  Go grab a copy!
