Prince of Persia Before the Sandstorm -- A Graphic Novel Anthology by Jordan Mechner, Todd McFarlane
pwbalto's review

Pages are a little intense for younger readers, with many many panels. But kids hungry for more grownup-looking comics do tend to snap this up. All in all, especially considering it's based on a movie that's based on a video game, this book is of surprising quality.

Fun little collection with a good grouping of attractive art in varied styles. Some of the references to older versions of the Prince of Persia games were lost on me, but it didn't ruin the stories for me.
