Peter Kuper's "Sticks and Stones" is a wordless graphic novel about a Stone Man and his life with the Stick People. The story told, or shown I guess, is of the rise and fall of an empire. The Stone Man enslaves the Stick People, sends them to war against other Stick People, and expands his empire using them as his stepping stones (pun partially intended). Call it fate, god, karma, nature, or whatever else you can think of, but a storm ravages the Stone Man's empire, flooding the world itself. Wh...

A very quick 10 minute scan through makes sadness easy to feel. A very seemingly troubled volcanic giant starts childlike and playful and somehow commands an army of smaller rock people to do his bidding. After building a kingdom, he goes to war with colorful tree people and demolishes their land. Really just sad. The ending was relieving and made for a small smirk of revenge.

I thought this book was great. I loved how the author decided to change the color of the book to display the feeling he wanted do convey and the way he used no language in delivering his thoughts. I also liked the way he titled the book and told a couple of morals to the readers.My favorite part of the book was the funny scenes. I especially enjoyed the scene where the servant of the evil emperor was knocked down from the chair. It showed that by just working in favor of an evil person does not

A fairly quaint interesting little journey.

This book is about a bigger rock man controlling smaller rock people like a king. He imprisons the people that defy him and praises his followers until it starts to rain and he sinks while his prisoners float on a wooden cage. Sort of like the story of Noah's ark.https://donnyanggoro.files.wordpress.... the art style of this book is very geometric compared to most. the characters are believable and are changed through the book. the king, for example, forces the smaller ones to build a castle for...

4.5 stars rounded up.

Peter Kuper's graphic novel Sticks and Stones is interesting in that it tells a story without any words. It is the tale of a rock man born out of a volcano and then the rise of his empire. The story does well to provide enough pictures and details to help the reader understand. The story unfolds to become a more of a "what comes around goes around" kind of moral because of what the rock man becomes, a vicious dictator. I felt like the story was very well done and interesting. It kept me captivat...

Sticks and stones is about a small village of rock people that live under the power of a giant rock man. The leader isn't very nice and finds a village of tree people and doesn't like them very much. In the end he gets what we deserves. The art style is very basic and mostly black and white. I liked this book because it has a good story and has a good ending. The theme I think is you get what you deserve because the leader of the rock people bosses people around and try's to take over the tree p...

Sticks and Stones by Peter Kuper is a wordless graphic novel that depicts the rise and fall of a giant rock creature. A large amount of symbolism is used in this comic, as it characterizes human emotion and behavior through the actions of fictional creatures. This display of emotion is mostly seen in the protagonist, a nameless giant rock man. The rock man enters that story as a gentle giant who befriends a civilization of much smaller rock creatures. The smaller creatures build him a kingdom,

The wordless aspect of this graphic novel was interesting, but while I was reading the bulk of it I didn't think it worked well with the black and whiteness of it. The ending changed my mind, though, because it became apparent that the lack of color was meant to be symbolism for war. It was tricky to fully understand what was going on and who was who, but the message of the comic was very clear, especially after the book's ending.

Sticks and Stones has a lot of meaning behind it. Basically this comic shows the uprising of a king, the king becomes corrupted by power, an uprising starts which leads to the kings downfall. The art in this comic was awesome and I feel that this comic gives meaning to the phrase a picture is worth a thousand words with some of the scenes it shows. I would recommend anyone read this comic.
