The Butcher of Paris by Stephanie Phillips
3.0
3.25 stars
As a lover of true crime and history I was pleasantly surprised to discover this graphic novel of Marcel Petiot, aka the ‘Butcher of Paris’ who terrorised the streets at the cusp of the end of WW2.
I read the complete series in one sitting, and found it intriguing however I thought the shortness of these volumes hindered it being a comprehensive coverage of his victims and Petiot’s motivations.... it just felt rushed ya know?
Had this been longer this would have been fantastic tho!
The graphics/ illustrations were cool and edgy, adding the right tone and mood. I would recommend this if you can read it online or borrow it from the library.
This has really intrigued me in finding out more about this case and I would personally love to see it covered on a YouTube or Netflix documentary series.
