Reviews* "With obvious affection for Tintin, Pullman threads this complicated skein of plot with customary measures of awe and menace... he proves an expert visual storyteller. Fordham animates with characters who have the detail and agility of a Studio Ghibli cast... Anything new from Pullman is big news, and his first original graphic novel won't disappoint." -- Booklist , starred review* "The various plot threads coalesce into a powerful tale, with the artwork creating a soaring, cinematic feel. A modern seafaring epic, highly recommended for all Pullman and fantasy fans and more than worthy of its author's oeuvre." -- School Library Journal , starred review"Pullman has created an intricate blend of science fiction and adventure, skillfully weaving together many disparate elements into a cohesive and exciting tale. Fordham's art, although realistic and spare, is cinematic in scope, imbuing this with all the momentum of a Hollywood blockbuster." -- Kirkus Reviews "The graphic novel format lets Pullman's (the His Dark Materials series) dialogue shine, and Fordham's lucid panels are strong, legible, and charged with energy." -- Publishers Weekly, Praise for The Adventures of John Blake: Mystery of the Ghost Ship : * "With obvious affection for Tintin, Pullman threads this complicated skein of plot with customary measures of awe and menace... he proves an expert visual storyteller.

The title explained the story line well.
This was a comic strip type of book. It was very interesting and held my attention. I gave it to my husband to read to see what he thought, since he is a guy. I'm hoping that my grandson who doesn't like to read will find it equally entertaining. It was a good book. I would recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
