Customer Reviews

bravo!
In a world where the comic pages have become increasing trite and bland, Mr. Tatulli's Heart of the City is both a surprise and a delight. The characters (Heart, her Mom, her friends) are complex and funny, but most of all believable. No other comic characters are more alive than Heart of the City's, and this first book refects that.

Not since early Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes) and early Amend (Foxtrox) have I been this pleased with a comic book.

This one is a winner. Don't miss it.

Watch out world - here comes "Heart"!
Mark Tatulli enticed me from the beginning a year ago with this insightful character and I've been hooked ever since. The comic stays fresh, warm, witty and a delight in my day. Mr. Tatulli is gifted with an incredible imagination that brings the characters to life for me in a way no other writer has since the early work of Lynn Johnston. This first book is a treasure trove of fun family reading.

Kudos to Mark Tatulli for a wonderful book - I look forward with anticipation to many more.

GIRL POWER AND SHOW BIZ!!!
What a CHARMING little comic strip!!! But it's so sad it isn't printed anywhere except in this nifty little book that I suddenly came upon at my college bookstore. Drawn in this adorable, whimsical cartoony style rather like Calvin and Hobbes (ooh...how I HATE imitations, but this seems to work here), it's all about a very spunky little girl who likes to dress up, play make-believe, dance in a glittery pink tutu and ragged stockings, bawl at sad movies on the tube, and tease her divorced mom about getting another man! Very girlish, yet it's got plenty of wit and a very insightful view about what it's like to be a single young mother living by herself with an very imaginative child and her hyperactive buddies in the very middle of a city as well as those terrific movie take-offs (especially of Star Wars) featuring our plucky young heroine in her famous demin bonnet and ballerina slippers!
