This book is the perfect graphic novel, and when I say that, I also mean they've raised the quality of the graphics for it. It's not your run-of-the-mill semi-graphic novel, like so many of them seem to be these days, don't they.
And it's not at bottom still a comic-book story either, as so many of them are. And I might say, if you don't mind my doing so, that one of the reasons I like the writing of it so much is that I'm a bit spiritual myself, and I can vouch for the truth of about 3/4 of this story (the rest isn't necessarily untrue, I just don't know about it) (and I plan to keep it that way, but you can't fight fate, especially when you're dealing with someone so tricky).
While we're on the subject, I was reading 'R. Crumb Draws the Blues' the other night, and that's got some moments in it that have to do with powers being derived from the dark side of spirituality (African voodoo). And it's non-fiction. It's interesting (always nice when someone else gets the information for you!).Get more detail about Hellboy Volume 10: The Crooked Man and Others (Hellboy (Graphic Novels)).
