Comics can at times be a nuisance, yet at the same time there are comics which are an absolute delight to read and off course review. With comics you never know when you are handed with a gem and the best part is I often come across something which is a sheer delight to read. So, when I came across the first volume of the latest “The Stuff of Legend”, I was not just taken aback by the absolute beauty of the comic, I was completely awestruck by the book!
It isn’t that this issue has something totally unique in terms of story and presentation but there is something about this book that makes even the regular things so new and unique. This issue has all the characters that we have witnessed so far. From the evil Percy to the cunning Boogeyman that dwells in the dark it’s all the same. It is all about the presentation that makes the difference to this issue.
This book is out an out a horror story, but that is where the beauty lies. Starting from the artwork to the story it is a book that will give you chills to your bones. The design resembles a house of some hideous neighbor, who always gave you an air of mystery. It is incredible how modern technique has been used to give the book a look of weariness and scare, which for many may come across as carelessness. It is an absolute treasure in terms of story and the artwork is just perfect for a horror story.
