Johnny Boo Does Something #[nn]

James Kochalka's Johnny Boo Does Something! is a delightfully cheerful all-ages adventure from Top Shelf that radiates pure fun — quite literally, with sunbeams bursting across that vivid yellow sky on the cover. The little ghost himself is front and center, doing a handstand in the green grass with his tiny red mouth and wide-open enthusiasm, embodying exactly the kind of silly, joyful energy that makes this series so winning. At $9.95, this 2013 volume is an easy, warmhearted pick for readers young and old who appreciate comics with a genuine sense of playful wonder.
