The plot is compelling and a charming take on this piece of history but I hate Abadzis' artwork. The angry scribbliness and the blank black-eyes are as unpleasing to me now as 30 years ago when I read Hugo Tate.
Pretty good? A little slow to start, but ultimately a sad, sweet, and revealing look at the Cold War Soviets. Also very sad, even though you pretty much know how it ends. But it's worse to know all the reasons why Laika died (they rushed the whole thing b/c they wanted a dog in space on the 40th anniversary of the revolution, there was no way to even try to get her back down).
