Tom and Jerry Wordless Graphic Novels by Christopher Harbo
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Instead of purchasing this, best spend less for any of the ‘Tom & Jerry’ comic books that existed from the ’40s through the ’80s. This volume is a poorly illustrated, greatly lacking tale. Sequential story telling isn’t difficult. The ones that put this together have a lot to learn. Making all of this worse is that this is basically a rehash of earlier ‘Tom & Jerry’ tales. The difference is a cell phone is inserted. There was so much that could’ve been done here! And with far less words!
A plus to the earlier comics, besides better stories and art, is that there are more of them. This book has just one story. One of those old Gold Key comics might run you a dollar to, maybe, ten, tops from a local comic book store. You can check E-Bay, too. That is the best direction for ‘Tom & Jerry’ printed material.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 3 out of ten points.
I should note I got access to this volume via the #NetGalley service for a review.
