Two soul mates, one from the North Pole and one from the South, discover to their horror they cannot come within two feet of one another. Determined they will find the cure for their fate, they marry anyways. But, how does one pass the years with a mate you cannot touch? With stories and legends of course! These stories compose the bulk of the Encyclopedia of Early Earth as we find out how the Nordic Man and his whole universe came to be. Early Earth’s history is oddly familiar, with variations of the flood myth, the Tower of Babel, and others, yet is ruled by one jerk of a deity, BirdMan and his two children, Kid and Kiddo. Author and illustrator Isabel Greenberg’s pokes fun at the classic and familiar mythologies of our world and her irreverence is both hilarious and poignant. Each tale is lushly illustrated with Nordic inspired graphics and a muted color scheme that uses bright pops of color to capture your eye. This is a graphic novel not to be missed.
