The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume 1

by Neil Gaiman and P Craig Russell

[pamela]

A beautifully illustrated adaptation of the YA novel of the same name. I haven't read the novel yet, but on the virtue of this adaptation I have immediately bought a copy and am reading it as we speak.

I'm a big fan of Neil Gaiman but it's the artists in this adaptation that really shine. Each section is illustrated by a different artist who keep the overall theme of the art going, but still give their own personal flairs to their respective sections. I thought it would disturb me and break the flow, but it did the opposite, instead serving to highlight differences in the narrative.

All in all, a pleasant surprise and I'm hanging out with great anticipation for Volume II!
