review:
'The Little Red Fish' by James Moffitt has beautiful illustrations by Bizhan Khodabendeh. My review copy was only the first issue, but I'm interested to find the rest and read it.

The story takes place in a reef with a group of fish under siege by seabirds who want to eat them. They find help from an unexpected and unusual ally.

On the surface level, it's a beautful story with equally beautiful art, but there is a deeper meaning, that is pretty obvious to the discerning reader. This story is also a retelling of the events of the Iranian Revolution. It's told from the perspective of those involved. Since this was only the first issue of six, it's tough to give a more complete review. I'd come back for the art alone, but as someone interested in history, I'd also come back to find out more about this time in history.

I received a review copy of this first issue of a graphic novel series from Rosarium Publishing, Sink/Swim Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this first issue.
