Isaac the Pirate: To Exotic Lands

Rating:
Summary: my all time favorite
Review: ...no kidding! This is quite possibly THE most talented artist/author working in graphic novels. Brilliant writing, with astonishing characters -- and then the artwork, which just takes my breath away. This is far from mutants and superheroes... This is first rate literature, which I read and re-read all the time.
Treat yourself to this one!

Summary: A powerful and enduring tale of the failings of human nature
Review: Isaac The Pirate: 1. To Exotic Lands is a graphic novel by Christophe Blaine of an especially high literary quality. Isaac Sofer is a talented young artist searching for money to make himself a worthy suitor to his beloved signs on to paint the portrait of a ship captain - yet once they are on the seas, Isaac learns that he is working aboard a pirate ship! Furthermore, the captain dreams of discovering new lands around the South Pole - but at what cost? The simplistic color illustrations set the stage for a powerful and enduring tale of the failings of human nature. The first of an anticipated series, Isaac The Pirate is a very enthusiastically recommended addition to graphic novel enthusiasts.

Summary: great art and story
Review: This book has great drawing and the story is very deep. I liked all the characters. The story is generic, but the storytelling is well done.
The style reminds me of Kevin Oneil from Extrordinary league of gentlemen.
