Previewing Christian Slade’s ‘Korgi: The Complete Tale’ — Collecting This Adorable Wordless Fantasy Into One Volume

by Richard Bruton

Ever since it first appeared back in 2007, Christian Slade‘s beautiful wordless fantasy graphic novel featuring a world of magic explored by an adorable Corgi called, well, Korgi, has delighted and enchanted readers. Now, coming in May 2024, Top Shelf bring you The Complete Tale.

It’s a book that almost defines charming, something loaded with gentle adventure, a magical fantasy world to explore and a character all ages will fall in love with.

Set in Korgi Hollow, Korgi has always been an adorable and delightful experience, Christian Slade’s super-fine black and white art capturing the essence of a fantasy world so perfectly. Now it’s available in a proper bookshelf edition, something that will be a perfect present for the comic-loving, fantasy-loving, dog-loving child (or adult) in your life.

Here’s how Top Shelf describe it…

“When day breaks in their woodland village, Ivy and her Korgi pup Sprout have no idea that they’ll soon be swept up in an astonishing adventure! Soon they’ll journey across land, sea, and air, from past to present and beyond, to learn more about themselves, escape the forces of evil, and uncover the ancient mysteries behind their magical world.

The sumptuously detailed pen-and-ink drawings of former Disney animator Christian Slade make every page a joy to behold, using the power of silent comics to bring every moment wordlessly to life for readers of all ages.”

The new deluxe softcover, published in May 2024, brings together not just all five Korgi volumes but also every bonus short story previously exclusive to comic books.
