Book Reviews of Pride and Prejudice (Marvel Illustrated)
Book Review: Elizabeth and Darcy, and great graphics
Summary: 4 Stars
I wish I could give it a 4.75 stars because I only had problems with some of the graphics. I am a graphics novel fan and old and new comics. The romance started when I was able to read my first comic book a million years ago. So when I saw a graphic novel of my favorite couple ever, I bought it without hesitation. Now, I must disagree with the negative comments about the rendition of the 5 girls. I think Lizzie, Jane, Mary, Kitty and Lydia look as they should have. They look beautiful and sexy, nothing wrong with that. Emotions where clearly disaplayed adding much to the novel. The story line was faithful to the book, and the clothing was typical of the time period. And what a great way to introduce young minds to classics.. I can tell you that this book is also a great learning tool. Just now, while I live overseas, a young German neighbor has been sitting, for hours, reading it while improving her English and actually enjoying the learning experience for the 1st time.
The one complaint, are the rendering of a few of the characters: 1. COL Fitzwilliam. Not sure how old are the graphics artists, but he was around 33 years old, 6 or 7 years older than Darcy. In here he appears in his late 40's and not dashing at all. 2. Why is the Mrs. Bennet so old looking? She married when she was probably 17 or 18. The oldest girl is Jane, who is 22, that would make her around 40+ years old; In this version of PP she appears around 50 or so. At the same time, Mr. Bennet looks like the grandfather when he was probably in his mid forties. 3. Why does Darcy have so many wrinkles? He was 26 or 27 years and maybe that is old for a 20 year old, but at least I know different; and why is Ann wearing glasses, meaning that if you wear glasses you are a frump?
Besides that I just love this version of PP. I hope there are many more classic graphic novels to come.
