Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

In this first installment of the Joey Fly, Private Eye series, Reynolds (Buffalo Wings) and Numberman, who makes a wowser of a debut, marry the film noir spoof to the graphic novel, and the result has the sweet smell of success written all over it. The mystery takes readers to the big insect city, where most of the inhabitants are "normal everyday bugs just trying to put three feet in front of the others." But there are always a few rotten arthropods in the barrel, and keeping them in line is Joey Fly, a detective with a fedora, a sense of justice masquerading as cynicism, a flair for similes and really, really big eyes. Joey, clearly an adult, is given a sidekick, an impetuous but eager scorpion named Sammy Stingtail. The crime does get solved-it involves a stolen diamond pencil box-but like the best noirs, the particulars take a backseat to the irresistible interplay of moody visuals (Numberman wryly replicates the chiaroscuro mis-en-scène of Depression-era cinema) and hard-boiled patois ("The facts were starting to line up like centipedes at a shoe sale"). Ages 8-up. (Apr.)

From The Critics
Life in Bug City isn't easy, especially if your name is Fly—Joey Fly, Private Eye. When a smart mouthed kid scorpion named Sammy Stingtail shows up demanding to be hired as Joey's assistant, it turns out to be just the start of a real tough day for Joey. Sammy is one of the clumsiest scorpions around. He demolishes most of Joey's office while trying to clean it; as a result, it doesn't look very professional when a beautiful butterfly named Delilah shows up in need of a private eye to find her diamond pencil box. Still, Joey gets the case. He spends the day combing the crime scene, dealing with a shrewish mosquito suspect, and trying to keep Sammy from accidentally destroying of all the evidence. As the day toils on, bug suspects mount, Sammy gets on Joey's nerves, and Delilah ends up firing Joey! Can Joey still solve the case and show that a good private eye always gets his bug? Reynolds and Numberman craft a fun graphic novel that's equal parts Humphrey Bogart and A Bug's Life. Joey's first-person narration is full of funny film noir cliches (e.g., "Crime sticks to this city like a one-winged fly on a fifty-cent swatter." "The air was more tense than an alley cat at a flea market."). This humor will keep kids—and parents—laughing. Overall, this is a funny new addition to the growing list of animal detective books.

    Lots of chuckles

    "Joey Fly, Private Eye - Creepy Crawly Crime" is a very entertaining, witty read. I read it with my little brother; the humor was subtle enough to have me laughing, yet it was physically funny enough at times (Sammy Stingtail 's sting-tail persistently knocking things down) to keep my 5 year old brother entertained.
    My favorite thing about it was the illustration. The characters were very cleverly drawn and the shades carefully chosen.
    The only negative thing about the book is the speed of the story. It moves along very slowly at times.
    All in all, a very entertaining read!
