Book Week 2025, Day 1: Speed Thief Vol 1, by Sean Hennessy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I would like this book just for being funny.

I would like this book just for being well-illustrated.

I would like this book just for covering lots of different dinosaurs and other Mesozoic critters, some familiar and many others only recently described, from more dinosaur-bearing formations than I was previously familiar with.

The fact that Sean Hennessy manages all of this at once is pretty astounding. I can laugh at the animals’ sometimes very modern, sometimes Mesozoic-specific, and sometimes universal predicaments, while learning about new-to-me critters, while enjoying pretty darned great paleoart. Each comic is accompanied by a title, a list of featured genera, and the geologic unit, time, and country or continent. There’s even a taxonomic index in the back of the book!

This post is doing multiple duties. Having followed his comics online, and loved them, I promised Sean that I’d buy his book and blog about it…back in 2024. Finally acquired my copy at DinoCon 2025, and got it personalized by the very personable author. So here’s your long overdue shout-out, Sean, and a visible reminder, to myself and to the world, that I still have more DinoCon stuff to blog.

Sean Hennessy’s contribution to the noble theme of sauropods stomping theropods.

New Speed Thief comics are going up regularly on Instagram, and you can get them early as a Patreon backer. You can get the book, prints of comics, t-shirts, pins, stickers, and more from Sean’s Etsy store. Go have fun! And stay tuned for the rest of Book Week 2025, in which I will continue belatedly singing the praises of books that aren’t necessarily new, but are fully awesome.

Finally, happy Thanksgiving! Go eat a dinosaur.
