fipah 's review for:
Black Orchid
by Neil Gaiman
5 stars = amazing
I am not an avid comics fan, hence rarely do comic books really fulfil my satiety for amazing stories paired with stunning visuals. As a result, I'd give this 4 stars, but 5 are absolutely necessary due to the fact Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean made a story that upended the traditional narrative within comics in 1991. Also, the artwork is sublime, as is always the case with McKean. [b:MirrorMask|760984|MirrorMask|Neil Gaiman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1432407674s/760984.jpg|1318615] (film) anybody?
Story-wise, Gaiman's What I Tasted of Desire of [b:The Sandman: Endless Nights|47720|The Sandman Endless Nights|Neil Gaiman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327948224s/47720.jpg|460092] still remains my absolute favourite, yet Black Orchid has a catchy detective unfolding and a compelling relationship with violence - this is even more refreshing when yet again one takes into consideration this was published in 1991. Violence is not the resolution here and every character plays a role here.
Recommended!
