THE ONLY LIVING BOY #1: PRISONER OF THE PATCHWORK PLANET by David Gallaher & Steve Ellis

In THE ONLY LIVING BOY #1: PRISONER OF THE PATCHWORK PLANET, a boy named Erik runs away from his home and falls asleep in a park. When he awakes, he discovers he is no longer home and he is now on a world that has some resemblance of his home, but one that has changed drastically. For instance, the moon has shattered and there are all kinds of creatures out to kill, eat, or capture Erik. The inhabitants of this world are amazed at Erik because he is a human boy and they have never seen one before. Initially, Erik isn’t as fast or fearsome of some of his opponents and he has to rely upon his intellect and wit to survive some unusual circumstances. I really enjoyed this first installment of THE ONLY LIVING BOY and look forward to reading further adventures of Erik. The story is different, but it reminded me of a more colorful and exciting version of the old Saturday morning series, LAND OF THE LOST.
