The Crow: Special Edition is a newer edition of the graphic novel that was first drawn in 1981 and inspired the movie starring the late Brandon Lee! The book is dedicated to Brandon, James O’Barr explains in the introduction that he felt abdicated of any personal blame for Brandon’s death by his fiancè, Eliza Hutton who knew that James wasn’t to blame by creating this amazing story.
The writing style and the artwork are both beautiful. I love the poetic verse in between chapters! The character of Eric Draven has always been one of my favourites since first watching the movie, so am glad I chose to read this finally. The Christmas scene between Eric and Shelly is so cute

one of the best graphic novels I have ever read, such a sad and poignant story with an even sadder backstory. I love the colouring and lettering, despite being entirely black and white some of the panels are incredibly gorgeous

This is more an experiment of sorts about dealing with grief and revenge, with a loose thread binding all the scenes. It's pretty interesting to read.

Let's not pretend that the artistry of this isn't fantastic.
Let's not pretend that we wouldn't dream of drawing POC like that these days.

My favorite movie of all time, had to read the comic book. God it hurt... Watch the movie, read the graphic novel if you can. Can't wait to meet James O'Barr and ask him to sign my copy
