review:
'Elma, a bear's life Vol 1: The Great Journey' by Ingrid Chabbert with art by Maze Lea is a story about a young child being raised by a bear. It has a resemblance to another familiar story.

Elma is a sort of wild child being raised by a giant blue bear. One day fox comes to bear and says that it is time. Papa Bear and Elma begin a long journey, but Elma doesn't know where they are going. Elma thinks it is all great fun, but Papa Bear is somber. We don't discover where they are heading. That is for a later volume.

Elma and Mowgli seem to have some similarities. I could be wrong about where Elma is going, and I'm curious to know if I am. The story is sweet and bittersweet, but the real reason to pick this up and read it is for the absolutely breathtaking art by Maze Lea. There are gorgeous drawings to behold here.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
