by Brendan M. Allen
On October 26th, Top Shelf Productions is set to release Better Place, a new graphic novel scripted by Duane Murray and illustrated by Shawn Daley. Crafted with layers of emotion and sympathetic characters, including some childlike adults and some awfully mature kids, this book is a celebration of vintage comic-book imagination and a harsh dose of reality crashing against that fantasy.
