José Luis Munuera

In changing 'Ebenezer' to 'Elizabeth' Scrooge, José-Luis Munuera does more than just gender-swap the Dickens Christmas classic. In A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story, Munuera gives us a tale with a feminist twist that differs somewhat from the original, very gratifyingly: "The people of London had yet to determine whether Scrooge hand changed entirely, or a little, or not at all." Munuera's artwork in this graphic novel (which I read as a physical paperback; apparently it and the Kindle show more edition share an ISBN) is absolutely fantastic, gorgeous, atmospheric; I really like the character design of Elizabeth Scrooge. A quick but rich read, very enjoyable. show less

A wonderful ending. Munuera's inexplicable ability to merge Astérix-esque silliness with genuine and hard-hitting pathos and character drama is as stunning as his artwork. This fifth and final volume of the saga is a beautiful and touching ending, and well worth the ride in every way.

Una historia simpática sobre la relación entre una persona y su perro. El argumento es normalito, pero Munuera se luce en cada página.

The Campbells follows the life of a golden hearted ex-pirate and his two daughters, who lives a Robin Hood-esque life, while slices of flashbacks are shown building up his history, explaining the main events and preparing for the clash with his nemesis Inferno.

The art of Jose Luis Munuera is a missing link between Asterix and Disney and, while there is no commitment to Historic accuracy, this book is all about action and adventure in the tradition of the European comics. The story becomes show more better as it evolves in the next books! show less
