Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood by Tony Lee
1.0
I would perhaps be more forgiving if Robin Hood didn't look almost *exactly* like the author, rendering this little more than a vanity project. While there are some interesting lighting effects going on with the art, they are overused. Half the time characters are in the dark, making it difficult to tell what's going on.
I see little that is original here, which is fine. I mean, it's Robin Hood. Originality and a seven hundred year old myth don't quite go hand in hand. But the sources are quite obvious and have been done better elsewhere.
I once said that the British cultural sensibility rested on the shoulders of King Arthur, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, James Bond and the Doctor. Tony Lee has attempted, to varying degrees of success, 3/5 of these. I shudder to think what he'd do with Bond.
