Format:Paperback
The first part of the Rainbow Orchid saga was one of my favorite finds in 2009. Part 2 continues the fine work.
Although the cliffhanger ending will keep me nervous for the next six months, this is a brilliant middle volume. It adds more layers to the story, progresses the plot, gets us closer to the characters and leaves us wanting more.
Ewing's skill as an artist also continues to amaze. Even from the first page - with his gorgeous rendering of the Natural History Museum - it showed an attention to historical detail & painstaking craftsmanship. I love the pop-art Lichenstein style of the work (so much that I wound up buying a print of the foxy femme fatale Crowe).
This is a heart-warming book, written and drawn with true devotion. I can't speak for kids, but as an adult, I love it. Bring out book 3.

This great trilogy continues with volume 2 of The Rainbow Orchid, as Julius Chancer arrives in India to try to find the rainbow orchid. But they have to overcome many obstacles to get the rare flower. Their plane bursts into flames and that's just the first of many problems they run into. If you liked the first book, you'll like this one. The series is full of action and exciting to read.
I'm 10 years old and I didn't find this book too hard to read. The art is also good. I recommend this book to anyone who likes comics.

"The Rainbow Orchid" is a very interesting work by Garen Ewing. This good story is illustrated with talent. The artist has given his drawings a flavour of the fifties which, while reminding the reader of Hergé's art, as well as of Bob de Moor, H.P. Jacobs, J.Martin and even W. Vandersteen's, keeps his own personnality. I'm looking forward reading the third volume.

For me better than Tin Tin
This is a beautiful bit of work. I'm only really familiar with Herge's 'Tin Tin' as far as similar European graphic novels (4 row panel layout style), but it compares favourably to... Read more
