SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:
She has one eye and three arms. She loves cupcakes and shotguns. She desperately wants to be an astronaut―but there's a small problem with the available spacesuits. Aliens eat onigiri (Japanese rice balls) in the second half of the book, "Triangle Goes to Earth." The tales are illustrated with a fresh take on the angular, modern style of mid-twentieth century design made famous by Saul Bass and UPA Productions.


This is the first collection of short graphic stories by popular Doctor Who and Sherlock comic cover illustrator Question No. 6. She lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.












MY RATING:3STARS
Question No. 6 is a popular illustrator from Japan and this graphic novel of hers is a little odd. The story is also quite unusual and I neither love it nor hate it. I don't understand what message the second part of the story wants to convey. Perhaps it has a secret message and that I just wasn't able to decode what it means that's why i found it strange.
