Hereville is on the Good Comics For Kids “best of 2010” list!

And it’s in some great company, too! Thanks, Good Comics For Kids!

The fantasy aspects of Hereville may be familiar, but Barry Deutsch’s deft treatment of the heroine’s religious heritage is not; he makes her upbringing in an Orthodox Jewish community fundamental to the story without sliding into caricature or didacticism. Crisp, evocative artwork and a memorable cast of supporting characters — including Fruma, Mirka’s wise if conventional stepmother — make Hereville a terrific read for teens and adults.

Thanks as well to Katherine Dacey, who wrote the Hereville review.
