The life of Marine Corps General Smedley D. Butler would be an impressive story wherever one found it, but this adaptation of his life somehow robs its characters of life and personality - you can't make the argument that this comicization makes the material more accessible for young readers, b/c nothing about this is intended for them. One wonders if Butler would have liked having a comic book about him, and whether, ultimately, this works. I enjoyed it, but...something's missing or wrong with this particular volume.
