A review by jsjammersmith
The Arctic Marauder by Jacques Tardi

5.0

While there is not a great amount of material in this book in terms of actual story length, I still thought that this was an incredible graphic novel. The richness of detail, and the playing with the form of comics made this an incredibly beautiful book. Every page was a work of art that begged to be studied further, and every frame of this book contained a multitude of lines were inspired. The story itself bordered on lovecraftian, but by the end became more a reimagined 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea mixed with some Island of Dr. Moreau, and while I felt these characters could have possessed slightly more depth, but the end I was sold because Jacques Tardi never betrays the "feeling" of this book.

It remains to the end a strange and weird and wonderful work.
