Knowing why the author worked on this graphic novel only makes it harder to go through. I watched one of the movie adaptations before discovering this so I knew what I was getting into, but it was still extremely tough to go through. I loved all the references to poets and writers with quotes about death, and Eric's own twisted responses.

It’s dark & messy and intensely personal, James O’ Barr gave his all with this gothic tale about grieving & self-forgiveness.

Para mí es difícil ponerle menos de cinco estrellas a esta historia llena de dolor, amor y venganza. Una historia que me ha tenido casi en todas las páginas al borde de la lágrima, aguantando las ganas de llorar.
Supongo que cuando tienes a alguien a tu lado a quien amas con tu vida es inevitable empatizar con Eric, pensar en todo ese dolor y pensar qué habría pasado si esa historia hubiera sido tuya. Y al final es lo que consigue James, que esta historia sea tuya.
