Storymaze 3: The Wooden Cow
Terry Denton. Allen & Unwin Australia, $6.95 (120pp) ISBN 978-1-86508-783-2
Terry Denton continues his Storymaze series with The Wooden Cow and The Golden Udder, hybrid graphic novels featuring further adventures in parallel worlds for heroes Nico, Claudia and Mikey. Wooden Cow stars a bovine named Ulysses in a spoof of the Trojan horse story, while Golden Udder brings Ulysses back as it twists the tale of the Golden Fleece into a new and unusual shape. Both titles combine comic-strip art and farcical tales full of verbal puns, double-entendres and deconstructed story lines.
