Saved By the Bell by Joelle Sellner
1.0
So I have this tendency to be Ms. Tardy-To-The-Party, finding interesting stuff long after it's been out for a while and everyone's gone bonkers over it (the most famous example of this being Hamilton). This is no exception. This graphic novel appeared in 2015 and I'm only just now discovering it.
Sadly, I didn't miss much. While the artwork is good - the colors are great, and everything is very well-drawn - the story just did nothing for me in capturing the hilarious nonsense of the show's characters. I grew up with SBTB (I was credulous enough as a kid to believe that the show was an accurate representation of high school - boy was I shocked when I actually got there), and my memories of that show are some of my most treasured ones from my childhood. This graphic novel, sadly, did nothing in evoking those memories.
