'Space Pirate Captain Harlock' by Leiji Matsumoto and Jerome Alquie is a graphic novel based on the famous anime series.
When Earth is threatened by an invasion that may have been waiting all along, it's up to Captain Harlock and his crew to save the world. The mysterious Mazons have arrived from the icy depths and even old enemies put truces together to win.
The art is great, but this book suffers from way too much exposition. I do remember watching some of the original series, but I had a hard time maintaining much interest in this overly wordy story where everything had a lengthy explanation.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Ablaze, and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
