Trickster is a character that shows up in mythologies and folklore all over the planet. If you have seen THOR, you know that Loki is a trickster character from Norse mythology. American Indian legend is full of trickster characters: raccoon, raven, coyote, rabbit, and man. Even Bugs Bunny is a trickster character of sorts. This trickster, whatever his form, plays tricks, disobeys rules and goes against conventional behavior. In Norse mythology, he succeeds in destroying the world!
Trickster: Native American Tales, a Graphic Collection is a compilation of tales from the Native American Indian traditions and each tale is illustrated by a different artist and told with a slightly different flair. Here are a couple of samples of the kind of artwork you can expect to see in this book.
