    Why I Killed Peter

    “Why I killed Peter” is one of those books that will both touch and upset you simultaneously. Alfred & Olivier Ka have done an amazing job with this “based on a true story” tale. If “Peter” was a film, it would be up for an Academy Award. This is not your every day, run of the mill, graphic novel. I highly recommend that you take just a moment of your time to check out the preview at http://www.nbmpub.com/comicslit/whyIkilled/pre1.html

    “Peter was a populist priest. He was cool. He was funny. He was no priest, just a regular guy. It’s like I had another uncle. A great one, who laughed, who sang, who tickled. Until he took us for summer camp. Until we were so close, temptation came in the picture.”

    Based on a true story that the writer experienced himself, this graphic novel presents very simply the grey areas in such a situation, how he had tucked the whole episode deep within him but then how his rage and self-pity let it all out and finally revisiting the man when close to death and his coming to grips. A very moving , topical and important work, sensitively presented.

    6×9, 112pp., full color clothbound jacketed, $18.95,
    ISBN 978-1-56163-543-6
