Comment: The
story is a typical adaptation. It has a lot of text, but a minor
dialogue. Story is okay, but does not containg the magic touch.
Corben makes his art more interesting by adding silhuettos on several
pages, specially on pg 2 and 6, which has white instead
of black silhuetto. Also Corben breaks interestingly the traditional
frame forms; every single frames are different size and mostly there's
a one whole or almost page size frame.
