Alabaster: Wolves by Steve Lieber, Rachelle Rosenberg, Caitlín R. Kiernan
4.0
My first encounter with Dancy Flammarion was in Caitlin Kiernan's short story collection Alabaster. I mostly enjoyed those stories, but they were a bit too...determinedly odd for my taste to really land with me. This comic solves a lot of the problems I had connecting with the prose narratives.
Kiernan's words and the visual art mesh very smoothly. Dancy and her world are well-realized, and I got a sense of emotional involvement in the action that I didn't always have when reading the short stories. I'm happy to see that we'll be getting more of Alabaster in comic form.
