Product Description
“Meet a young man named Odd . . . who helps the dead get even."
From the infinite imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes the suspenseful graphic-novel debut of a natural-born hero with a supernatural twist.
Odd Thomas is a regular nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see the lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it’s not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, California, are much more interested in the irresistible pancakes Odd whips up at the local diner. Still, communing with the dead can be useful. Because while some spirits only want a little company . . . others want justice.
When the sad specter of a very frightened boy finds its way to him, Odd vows to root out the evil suddenly infecting the sunny streets of Pico Mundo. But even with his exceptional ability–plus the local police and his pistol-packing girlfriend, Stormy, backing him–is Odd any match for a faceless stalker who’s always a step ahead . . . and determined to kill again?

 A Fun Addition to the Odd Thomas Collection June 24, 2008

Odd Thomas is just your average nineteen-year-old. That is if by average you mean someone who can see the lingering dead. By trade Odd is a fry cook in his hometown, Pico Mundo. After seeing a new spirit in the form of a young boy, Odd begins to sense foul play. It seems that a child killer is on the loose, and this boy is his latest victim. When one of Odd's friends finds herself in the middle of the case, Odd and his girlfriend Stormy decided to do some snooping around. What they discover is far more dangerous then they could have imagined.
If fell in love with the Odd Thomas character through the four Koontz novels dedicated to the beloved fry cook. When I heard there were plans for an Odd Thomas graphic novel, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. In Odd We Trust is a new Odd Thomas story that actually serves as a prequel to the original novel. As always, Koontz's storytelling is second to none and thankfully we don't lose any of the charm and humility of Odd's character in the graphic novel format. This new story is a fun addition to the Odd Thomas canon, and it was a bittersweet experience to have Stormy back for a while.
Australia magna artist Queenie Chan also brings her masterful skill to the table. Her portrayal of Odd and company really fits the story and gives us another delightful dimension of the Odd one. This is a must read for Odd Thomas fans and another wonderful addition to Dean Koontz's stellar body of work.
Warning Odd is addicting July 2, 2009
J. Garcia
If you start to read Koontz's Odd Thomas novels, I warn you, it is addicting and you can not wait until the next one is published. There are 4 novels in this saga and each is just as good. They kind of build on each other, but can be read in any order. They leave you feeling good about humanity and that in itself makes them worthwhile. Enjoy.
More fun Odd! July 14, 2008

First I think it's really shameful that people are leaving 1 and 2 star reviews because they made the mistake of not realizing this was a graphic novel. You made the mistake.
This is a fun prequel to the Odd series. It's great to see visuals of Odd and Stormy. If seeing Elvis in the back seat while Odd drives doesn't put a smile on your face then you aren't a true Odd fan. :) It's not as deep or horrific as the other Odd novels, but it's just a really fun glimpse into the further adventures of the lovable Odd. I really loved to see Koonts delve into the comic genre in this format. Boom! studio is currently putting out a Frankenstein comic based on the 1st book for those of you who aren't turned off by pictures with your words. I really hope he does more in this "manga" style. I think it really works for his type of stories.

A cute publication but doesn't really go anywhere. Being a big fan of Dean Koontz I was disappointed. The Odd Thomas series of books have been great, but not the comic-strip!
Terrific Graphic Novel July 24, 2008

This was a great idea done very well. My husband doesn't read many books, so I had given up the idea of him discovering Odd. This was a great way for him to meet Oddie, and now he's hooked as well!
