We saw the Etherington Brothers' inspiring show from the front row, at the Hay Festival yesterday.
We bought ** Monkey Nuts ** and my 10 and 8 year old boys fought fiercely over who was to read the book first. It had to be withdrawn until they had reached a happy agreement and finally today they read it, as did we.
Bearing in mind that we have an awful lot of books of all types in our house, including towers of Beanos, Dandys, and related annuals, all the Tintins, Asterix', and countless other graphic novels owned by children and parents....My 8 year old thought it is 'The best book I have ever read' and has asked for the next one, yet to be published, for his birthday several times an hour since. My 10 year old has also been asking for the next one for his birthday and has read it at least 4 times today.
I was very impressed by the superior creative qualities of Robin's imagination and Lorenzo's illustrations. Their ideas have created an exciting new world where anything can happen.
A superb book...We are 4 new Etherington converts ranging in age from 8 to 50 and will be following their publications closely from now on.

Monkey Nuts is a cut-above the usual kids' comic book. Firstly, the illustrations show brilliant attention to detail and the printing is really high-quality: vibrant colours, crystal-clear and with a nice shine. (It's tempting to cut it up and put the pictures on the wall!) Secondly, the action-packed storyline, with a touch of Indiana Jones, sweeps you along and made me laugh out loud countless times. Sid and Rivet are great little heroes and I hope we see them in some new adventures soon...
A perfect present for anyone who likes nice artwork and a rip-roaring tale!

Something for everyone...
The Etherington Bros.' output always reminds me of a Pixar film in the way it manages to have such broad crossover appeal, without ever compromising on quality. Read more

Comic fun
This is a rare thing, a British comic-book story, and a marvellous one at that. The drawing is dynamic and full of life, the story is fun and page-turning. Read more

Great comedy comic with amazing artwork
My boys always liked Monkey Nuts. As an adult (well legally anyway) I found the artwork on the matt paper of the original DFC comic too clutttered. Read more
