Everyone knows art is nothing to mess around with—after all, it can kill you. Harold and his purple crayon grew up to become Art Brut with his magical paintbrush and trusty wooden mannequin sidekick in this punny graphic novel from the creator of Ice Cream Man. Brut is a Dreampainter with a wishy-washy grip on reality and the uncanny ability to enter pieces of art to walk through the “world behind the canvas.” When someone is committing art crimes of the highest caliber (the Mona Lisa is winking?!), the Bureau of Artistic Integrity calls Brut in to save the day. This story is zany fun for anyone looking for a light, action-packed read with touches of creative philosophy. Recommended by Wulfe
