Cathy Malkasian's Eartha is an expansive tale of pastoral life, city corruption, greed, and addictions, and reverberates with questions plaguing us today, such as the alienating effects of hyper-connectivity and the self-destructive obsession with novelty. Malkasian's rigorous draftsmanship, stunning landscapes and sophisticated storytelling are all on display in Eartha, making this the author's lushest and most impressive graphic novel yet.

Malkasian creates beautiful and strange pictures.
Allegories are thick as fog in this gloriously imagined fantastical fable from Malkasian.
What works is the world Malkasian has created here: soft, swooping vistas seen from a variety of perspectives and frames as rich as the diverse and eccentric cast of characters, and epitomising the message of the small and local and true being truly the biggest things.
Watching Cathy Malkasian construct a world is a pleasant and gently surprising experience. The visual splendour and quizzical customs she dreams up to outfit the stomping grounds of Eartha, a genial giant who's embarked on a quest, share much of the verve of Pixar's weirder ideas, along with some of the darkness of Don Bluth's cartoons.
Eartha is an extended dream with a fixed moral compass, a story about the central and transformative power of believing in humanity, even when -- especially when -- it lets you down.
Eartha is a fun journey, where the character development jumps out at you and the maze of interloping storylines leaves the reader grasping for more.
Malkasian’s stunning landscapes and depictions of nature, gestural character nuance, and sophisticated storytelling are on display in her latest graphic novel. For a thousand years, the unfinished dreams―sex fantasies, murder plots, wishful thinking―from the City Across the Sea came to Echo Fjord to find sanctuary. Emerging from the soil, they took bodily form and wandered the land, gently guided by the fjord folk. But recently they've stopped coming, and Eartha wants solve the mystery. Without thought or hesitation―the city isn’t on any map, or in anyone’s memory―she ventures into the limitless waters, hoping to find the City.
