A Natural Masterpiece of Wonder!

By John L. Daniels, Jr.

Frank Beddor writes a great new visionary graphic novel, Hatter M the Nature of Wonder that enthralls readers into the realm of Hatter M.

Beddor and Liz Cavalier’s ingenious captions, which intertwine the past with the present storyline, builds a reader’s anticipation and promotes great use of one’s imagination while living the storyline with enjoyment. The quest of Hatter M has a wonderful paradoxical storyline progression. Though the storyline parallels past Hatter M adventures; Hatter M. continues to meet historical and scientific characters through his quest to find Alyss. In this story Hatter M meets a historical character from the civil war era who voiced equality and freedom for African Americans. Hatter and this freedom icon also share a love and flair for hats.

Each chapter in this work of art explores a different era of time that surrounds Hatter Madigan; whether it’s the patients’ asylum dance at the presence of Hatter M or meeting his new civil war allies. During his adventure with two new colleagues, Hatter meets another new ally from another realm who will help him with his quest to find Alyss. The chapters reveal secrets, and magical tricks to lure Hatter M through our realm.

Sami Makkonen has the artistic flair of a Zen master. The panels and background flow rhythmically with specks and trickles of dark inks. The use of bright pops of color and water color washed hues are stunning, and induce one to reminiscence of antique glass slide viewing. The book cover artistry by Ernie Kovacs also draws and excites the reader to quickly open the book to continue the feeling of warm but deep darkness and pure visionary splendor.

The progression of Hatter M’s character is present in this nature of wonder story, with a realm of imagination and the wonders of trust in others. This is truly another masterpiece of written wonderment and visual artistry. It is obvious that a read of Hatter M. The Nature of Wonder ends all thoughts of wonder - why Beddor’s Mad with Wonder won the 2010 IPPY award for best graphic novel.
