Graphic Novel rec: "Peter Pan" by Regis Loisel
Graphic Novel rec: "Peter Pan" by Regis Loisel
#1
I just found out that last month, a collected english edition of this 6-volume french graphic novel was published by Soaring Penguin.
I read the original years ago, and wholeheartedly recommend it.
It is basically a prequel to the novel, telling how the urchin Peter, son of a single alcoholic mother in Dickensian London was befriended by a little fairy and taken to a fantasy land inhabited by legendary creatures (like fairies, mermaids or centaurs) led by the faun Pan, who are struggling against Hook, the privateer that stumbled upon the island and covets the treasure that a mermaid told him exists there. Peter will travel between London and Neverland many times, and experience many a triumph and tragedy before deciding to remain in the island forever.
The story is darker and more mature than the novel. You can google for many reviews and previews, and if you are interested it is available in Amazon and other online booksellers.
