Hansel and Gretel Oversized Deluxe Edition (A Toon Graphic)

"First the artwork. I am not a fan of the dark artwork. For those people that have a difficult time with deciphering the depictions due to poor eyesight, the dark run together images are a bit messy. If you look at them closely they are fine, however at a quick glance it is hard to tell what they are. The story is the same story as it has always been. I did not find it any less or more interesting then the original version. Sometimes, it appeared choppy and short in sentence structure with little detail. All in all, it’s an ok story if you haven’t read Hansel and Gretel before. I want some sort of background information as well. When did the parents decide to just drop the kids off in the woods with little supplies to fend on their own. What was the discussion that led to this conclusion. We know times were tough, but who does that."

"This wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it was a graphic novel, but it is simply a rather straightforward retelling of Hansel and Gretel with silhouette illustrations every other set of pages. The illustrations are intriguing, but I was just expecting <i>more</i> from it."
