Award-Winning Deer Editor

On the last weekend of January, I was honoured to have DEER EDITOR, my comic with co-creator Sami Kivela, win a Comics Arts Award of Australia – there are three tiers of awards where the best of Australian Comics can be honoured and we took home a Silver Ledger. DEER EDITOR is a book that lives close to my heart. It’s a collaboration with Sami, who is one of my favourite people. It’s a weird…

Deer Editor - spoiler-free review

Deer Editor is a noir comic about a crime beat editor Bucky who is also an anhtropomorphic deer. There are no other half-animal characters and mostly no one aknowledges this issue.

The high-concept is in place as we follow Bucky trying to do his job.

The mystery is handled deftly. Ryan K Lindsay has a good grasp even if some parts were a tad too dialogue heavy. Even for noir. Sami Kivelä draws in a realistic manner which grounds the comic. Together with colorist Lauren Affe the interior art is almost Black and White but subtle use of blue hues increases the noirness. Enchanses the mood and brood.

It is quite obviously a labor of love. Occasionally art has stiffness in some panels and it also is in my opinion a bit too wordy at Times, but it is good. This is not a funny animal story. There is humor but but far from comedy.

Out this week: Deer Editor #1 (Mad Cave, $4.99): This comic may have already arrived at your local comic shop, depending on who their distributor is. But I thought I’d highlight it here because it appears on Diamond’s list for the week, and, having already read it, I wanted to add that it’s not to be missed. Ryan Lindsay and Sami Kivela have created a really great character in Deer Editor, a hard-nosed journalist trying to solve a politically motivated murder, and the first issue will leave you wanting more.

See what else is coming to your local comic shop this week!
