The illustrations are eye-catching, and the stories they represent are intriguing. The author lists some celebrated events, interesting people, and criminals in the beginning of the novel. The crimes themselves are interesting, but don’t expect them all to have endings. One crime was never solved. If you like true crime in a graphic novel format, this is the book for you. ( ) Very well-crafted. Despite the grisly subject matter, the images are not gruesome. The style of illustration isn’t meant to be realistic, and the narrative is very compelling. This book could have been longer, but it was okay for what it was. I’m glad I read it, and I might look up more in this series. This short treasury consists of 1 mystery and 2 crimes during the Victorian Age. Again, this book was not much different from any of the other Geary non-fiction graphic novels. I find his work to be very succinct, interesting and educational. Being that this one was on the short side (in relation to his others), all I can say is that I would have liked more. That shouldn't require a demotion in ratings, but I wasn't satisfied - so, . . . it did. (4.25/5) Originally posted on: Thoughts of Joy
Geary’s unique, speckled art style looks like an old-fashioned pen-and-ink drawing, with thick lines and dark details. There’s no shading on the pages, just crosshatching to add weight to the settings and characters and lots and lots of lines to fill the shapes. The details make the stories real to the reader, and the people are often distinctive caricatures. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Long out of print, this very first volume of Rick Geary's increasingly successful series is now reissued in the same format as all other titles. Three delectable murders, culled from the pages of Victorian papers of the era, are presented in Geary's inimitable style, tongue firmly in cheek! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
