About book The Thrilling Adventure Hour (2013)

I am a huge fan of The Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast so I was anxious to get my hands on this graphic novel. It was great seeing the characters I have grown to love aurally brought to life visually. I only have two issues with the book: I don't think it will be entertaining for people who haven't listened to the show and the Moonshine Holler story is straight from the show (it's possible other stories were too but that was the only one I remembered hearing before). As much as I wanted to give this 5 stars I just couldn't but it's a must read for fans of the podcast. I fell hard and fast for the podcast, and so was delighted to get this into my hands. It was nice to have something tangible and, since I may not ever be able to see the show performed live, something visible. The illustration style changed with each story told, which I thought was really clever, as the tones of the show vary wildly from segment to segment. The adverts are clever and silly, and are not frequent enough to detract from the stories. I heard all the voices in my head as I was reading.
