Messenger: The Legend of Joan of Arc by Tony Lee

3.0

The story of Joan of Arc is presented very clearly in the text of this graphic novel. However, it also requires some basic knowledge of the history of the time period, otherwise terms like Burgundians and dauphin will make understanding more difficult for some readers. The graphics are rendered in a blocky, angular style which fits the mood of the story but can make it hard to distinguish some of the supporting characters. Color scheme is also appropriately dark for most of the book but also contributes to some of the difficulties in distinguishing various characters. Overall, it is still a good addition to a collection in terms of strong female protagonists and accurate historical accounts.
