The Crow

The Crow: Special Edition is a newer edition of the graphic novel that was first drawn in 1981 and inspired the movie starring the late Brandon Lee! The book is dedicated to Brandon, James O’Barr explains in the introduction that he felt abdicated of any personal blame for Brandon’s death by his fiancè, Eliza Hutton who knew that James wasn’t to blame by creating this amazing story.
The writing style and the artwork are both beautiful. I love the poetic verse in between chapters! The character of Eric Draven has always been one of my favourites since first watching the movie, so am glad I chose to read this finally. The Christmas scene between Eric and Shelly is so cute 🥹 infact everything between them is! Such a shame that their love story is marred by the most unspeakable tragedy and it’s understandable why Eric is hellbent on revenge from beyond the grave.
”I love thee with the breath, smile, tears, of all my life! - And if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death…�
5 stars and adding to my favourites shelf! 🐦⬛🖤
I have even been inspired to make a Spotify playlist based around this graphic novel/the movie! :
Yes, The Crow is dark, but I honestly think this will become one of my comfort reads� like the Creepshow graphic novel is!

Hi Sarah, great review here. You really bring back all the memory on Brendon's death in the last century. Especially liked your reference to Creepshow :-) All the best Peter

The Crow movie soundtrack is one of my favorites. Wore out the CD, bought it again digitally
Hi Peter thank you! Yes, it certainly seemed to have an impact! He was very talented. Have you read this one Pete? If you are a fan, it’s well worth it. I own in on CD aswell and have it downloaded to Spotify, loads of good bands have tracks on it don’t they?
I believe I read the comic book when I was a teen. It's been quite awhile.
Might be worth reading this updated edition at some point then Pete!
Great review, I'm going to have to get this for my husband!
Thank you Rebecca! Yes, do, especially if he is a fan of the movie!

My husband is the biggest fan of The Crow movie, he has watched it so many times and knows all the lines! I've just placed an order, I know he will love it!
