Publisher Spotlight: 31 Days of First Second

In the month of May 2016, I thought I'd take some time each day to highlight some of the great books published by First Second. Each day, I posted four images to Twitter and Facebook, the first identifying the book, then two samples of interior art, and last a very very brief capsule review. So here they are, collected: 31 Days Of Frist Second.

[Note: once in a gallery, you can navigate through images using your arrow keys if on a desktop or laptop.]

Good Ok Bad features reviews of comics, graphic novels, manga, et cetera using a rare and auspicious three-star rating system. Point systems are notoriously fiddly, so here it's been pared down to three simple possibilities:

3 Stars = Good
2 Stars = Ok
1 Star = Bad
