Pinocchio Vampire Slayer and the Great Puppet Theater

Pinocchio Vampire Slayer and the Great Puppet Theater
By Van Jensen
SLG Publishing, 2010. 163 pgs. Young Adult Comics

More lies! More vampires! More... puppets! Pinocchio is back, but now he has to share the vampire-killing stage with his wooden siblings. The stakes are raised in this sequel to the acclaimed 2009 graphic novel, as Pinocchio unravels the mystery of the undead menace and his own shadowy background. But will turmoil within the band of slayers spoil their efforts as they battle the bloodsuckers across Italy and even at sea in this darkly funny take on the classic character?

I didn’t enjoy this volume as much as the previous one, but it was still a fun read. Volume One of Pinocchio Vampire Slayer was one of the top ten Best Graphic Novels for Teens as voted by YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association).
