A review by kandicez
The Cape by Joe Hill, Jason Ciaramella
3.0
I liked this short story included in [b:20th Century Ghosts|373915|20th Century Ghosts|Joe Hill|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388224829s/373915.jpg|1049073]. It was a little strange, but not scary at all. A boy has a cape that actually allows him to fly. No one else really
In this graphic novel, that little 12 page story is fleshed out into an entire "book." Here, the boy who owns that cape is just...wrong somehow. This was very dark, and not just because of the graphic violence. There were also illustrations showing how dark this young man's feelings and heart were.
The illustrations were pretty good. I think the way Eric's jeans, especially the ripped out knees, were drawn was truly art, but because of the tone of the story I had a hard time appreciating it.
