What a simply perfect graphic novel adaptation! Yes friends, this is an actual adaptation that sticks to the classic that we all know and love. No retelling, no reimagining, just adding gorgeous illustrations to an already wonderful and whimsical story. I can't tell you how giddy I was upon realizing that Alice's adventures would be intact. There's something so satisfying about seeing things that were only in your imagination, brought to life by people who understand how important they are.

Leah Moore's artwork is a little less colorful than I originally expected, but the more I read the more I realized how well it fit the story. The muted colors lend themselves well to the dreamlike quality of Alice's rather strange encounters. I must admit, Alice herself really steals the show in terms of character illustration. She's utterly adorable, which makes her that much easier to follow along with. She is set against characters with mad grins, warped faces, and slightly terrifying bodies. That beautiful contrast between her world, and the one she has found at the bottom of the rabbit hole, is perfection.



I do believe that this would be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of anyone who has a soft spot for Alice in Wonderland. Journeying along with her, reliving the magic of Wonderland, it's all made that much more satisfying by the addition of these gorgeous panels. I just goes to show, in the right hands a graphic novel adaptation can be brilliant. I'm just glad Leah Moore understood that. show less

Alice in Wonderland is one of the first books i ever read and it's hard complete understand the story and this book is like a digest version for young people, some of the parts was omited even when the story itself is exactly the same that Carroll created. The good part is that this one reads so fast, i mean this also include Alice Through The Looking Glass and you can finish this graphic novel in less that 2 hours, and you have everything that is important about the story but you doesn't show more have some things that let you thinking as the original version does.

At the good side i must admit that the pictures are so good, the essence of the original illustrations is there but the feel that transmit is really different, a little less childish

I've never read M. R. James work before (and to be honest I've never heard of him) but this graphic novel collection has me very interested in his work. I'll definitely have to search it out, because these were rather good and I think I'd enjoy having a new corner of horror to explore!

I can't speak about how well these short comic stories adapt the original work, but I liked the variety of art styles. I also found the stories very enjoyable. So all in all, I'd say this is a good graphic show more novel to read. I would definitely recommend it for horror fans - particularly those who like historic atmospheres. show less

I liked it, but I felt left out and confused with all the British comics references that weren't explained. I applaud the editors' and contributors' efforts in attempting to help us lazy young Americans understand what was happening between the panels, but I just couldn't love this book like I wanted to.
