Hi Everyone!
Mike Petranek here again, and I just have to share a great review of CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #4 “The Raven and Other Poems” with you, as this one is especially kind to us! It seems like our readers have really latched onto this book, and we couldn’t be happier.
On Amazon.com, a blog about Graphic Novels had this to say about CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #5:
“From beginning to end, The Raven and Other Poems…is just a lovely book, brought to life by Wilson’s ultra-cool retro-ghoul black humor. Giant eyeballs, gleeful renderings of Poe himself, a seemingly smug raven, crypts, caskets, and ossuaries all take center stage. I don’t quite know how Wilson makes the accouterments of death seem both so eccentric and so funny while maintaining enough gravitas to make it all work…but work it does.”
Wow! That was quite a nice review. For those of you who haven’t checked out CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #4 “The Raven and Other Poems,” go out there and see if your library has it, or purchase a copy at booksellers everywhere. For Papercutz, this is Mike Petranek signing off. Take care, and watch out for Papercutz!
