Red Riding Hood, Superhero: A Graphic Novel by Otis Frampton
3.0
3.5 stars ...
I really loved the concept of this graphic novel. The graphics were excellent. The dialogue has really good moments and a few clunky moments that felt like it was trying too hard. I liked the educational bit at the end about how the artist used symbolism to show time passage and emotion, but since I've read several different versions of the "original" tale, I wondered about the one mentioned at the end of it. I can see, as a teacher, where this book would be a great book to offer to students interested in fairy tales, fractured fairy tales, and fairy tale comparisons.
