The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume Three by Robert Jordan, Chuck Dixon
4.0
Another volume in the graphic treatment of Robert Jordan's "The Eye of the World." The parties come together again in Camelyn and plot the next leg of their journey.
These are still such a treat to read, after following the characters and story for 20+ years, I'm thrilled with the care and attention to detail that are shown. And a special aside to the artist(s) who can make a character lovely from one angle and plain from another, just as real people often do, and who don't fall into the trap of over-prettifying those people who are supposed to be gritty or grungy just plain normal. The setting are stunning and the landscapes are lush (for now!).
The words are taken straight from Jordan, too, and care has obviously been taken to keep what is poetic and what is stirring without compromising either the graphic form or the source material.
