Graphic Classics Volume 22: African-American Classics by Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, W.E.B. Du Bois
3.0
The Reward: Beautiful.
Two Americans: OK art, but a good, touching story.
On Being Crazy: Nice art, and made me want to read the whole story.
The Negro: Like the poem and like the art, but they don't quite go together.
Danse Africaine: Gorgeous.
A Carnival Jangle: I don't like the art, and I feel like too many parts of the story were cut out.
The Castaways: Love it, but could've worked better as several panels.
America: Great poem and great art.
Lawing and Jawing: Very nice art, but I don't like the story, partially because I feel that I don't get it. Is it some sort of satire?
Lex Talionis: Messed up. but in the best way. Good at building and keeping the tension.
Becky: Sad. The art is OK.
In the Matter of Two Men: Great art. I like how it tells the story.
Sympathy: I wish they had made it into an actual comic.
We Wear the Mask: Good.
Buyers of Dreams: Too preachy for my tastes.
The Bronze Legacy: Both art and poem are excellent.
The Goophered Grapevine: Excellent fun story with decent art.
Sanctum 777 NSDCOU Meets Cleopatra: I don't really get the whole setup, so I feel like I'm missing out the cultural significance of the story.
De Cunjah Man: Hate the art, but the rest is fun.
Filling Station: A slice of life story. Very dynamic art.
The Ghost of Deacon Brown: Good art.
Aunt Chloe's Politics: Boring art.
Shalmanezer: I love the art.
Overall I lied the art, but many of the stories felt a bit gutted, and often the art didn't really complement the story as it should.
