Third times a charm

The Cardboard Kingdom V03 Snow and Sorcery by Chad Sell

March 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Book three of The Cardboard Kingdom graphic novel series is Snow and Sorcery. This is a series you need to read in order, but that is okay as book three is not due until early November 2023 and you will have plenty of time to read the first two Chad Sell books. There are various authors and illustrators (such as Barbara Perez Marquez and Manuel Betancourt) as well, but I forgot to write all their names down so I can add them to my review. […]

I recommend this to both starting in the genre of graphic novel and one if you’ve been into GNs for a bit).   The Cardboard Kingdom V02 Roar of the Beast is: a graphic novel. It is a colorful graphic novel at […]

Welcome to the Neighborhood

November 21, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Cardboard Kingdom is a graphic novel that follows a neighborhood of kids who transform ordinary cardboard into fantastical costumes as they explore life, family, friends and themselves. Created and drawn by Chad Sell we see a world that we probably have all lived in at one point. Who has not been “the loud girl” or known “the bully” or had that “little minion” kid sister? Or maybe you are the boy who wants to be the “Sorceress” or is the young lady who is the […]
