The pair has not been traveling together long it’s likely that this is the first night during which Sanja doesn’t feel like a prisoner. Sanja accepts, and the pair soon grow interested in each other’s pasts, motivations, and the possibility of a loving relationship.Ĭhouteau’s colors first hit me hard during Sanja’s fire lit talk with Lelek at the beginning of Part 2. In a moment of desperation, Lelek kidnaps Sanja and takes her away from her stifled place in her hometown – but quickly turns from kidnapper to student when she petitions Sanja for fighting lessons. Witchlight was one of my top books of 2016, and my descriptions of Lelek as a “tough young witch” and Sanja as “sweet, idealistic but strong” still feel just right. Witchlight Jessi Zabarsky (Writer and Artist) Both books have beautiful, brand new colors – Witchlight’s were done by Geov Chouteau and Bug Boys’ by Lyle Lynde – that take these comics to a whole new level. I was excited for these stories to show up on my library’s shelves, and checked out both to see how, or if, they’d changed. I’ve written about both comics before, but since those initial pieces both books were picked up by Random House Graphic and released to a wider audience. I’m a big fan of Czap Books, especially two of their earlier publications – Laura Knetzger’s sweet, slice-of-life series Bug Boys, and Jessi Zabarsky’s emotional, warm fantasy Witchlight.
