The true story of Simon Wiesenthal’s attempts to track down Nazis who escaped justice after WWII, retold in a crime noir comic... consider me sold. The comic isn’t 100% true-to-fact, but I feel it was a respectful narrative that takes its time to justify its liberties, and is extremely successful in keeping the reader engaged.
You can’t go wrong with black and white art, and the splashes of red were a great choice for emphasis. I loved the art style, specially all the action scenes!
As for the actual writing, I think the story line was incredibly well balanced between Simon’s thoughts and feelings, and the action scenes. It was also very well paced and the tension was present through to the end. AND THAT FINAL PAGE god.
In short, all of the elements in here totally worked for me, I will be getting a copy as soon as I can and I already want Vol. 2.
