Icon The Crow Graphic Novel

Post by Letora »

I believe it has been 20 years now since The Crow graphic novel was first released. Created to help James O'Barr overcome the death of his girlfriend, you can just tell the amount of grief he was suffering from the artistry. It is so raw and dark. You can tell as Eric Draven kills the men responsible for the death of his fiance, that Jame O'barr was sharing similar feelings to the drunk driver that killed his girlfriend. I haven't come across a similar one yet, but I am also new to the graphic novel scene. Has anyone read a similar graphic novel they could suggest?

Forgive me, but holy crow (pun), your acutely dark description of the book is one cue the hurting artist has produced a treasure worth reading. Thanks for sharing this!

It's as dark as it is beautiful. I saw the movies years before reading the graphic novel. Despite how different they are, I enjoy both!

I actually read the graphic novel,then seen movie. The eeriness of " Brandon Lee" ,as Draven, was life mimicking art in a surreal way, and the duality of him and his father ,lent itself to everything about the novel as well as film. That was a wow scenario ,and that's an understatement. Great works both.
