Nancy Goes Manga
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is the first that I've read of the new series of "manga-esque" graphic novels featuring the classic "girl detective", though it's the second to be published. All in all, it's pretty good, with an interesting and not-at-all simple plot, and above average artwork -- Nancy, George and Bess all look great! (I'm particularly fond of George's -- ahem -- "boyish" look, given the early history of the character. Heh heh.) It's definitely several notches above the companion "Hardy Boys" manga-esque graphic novel that I've read, which relies way too much on gimmickry and (for a kid's book) excessive violence. This, on the other hand, is a good, old-fashioned, not-terribly violent mystery that still manages to be pretty thrilling in its climactic moments. Its one weakness is a few moments where Nancy is made out to be kind of a ditz. Nonetheless, kudos to Stephan Petrucha and Sho Murase.
