A beautiful, touching, and poignant story, The Sculptor is an excellent graphic novel.
Our protagonist, David Smith, is incredibly easy to relate to, as are his friends and the other characters. They all feel real and alive, if that makes sense.
McCloud incorporates just enough fantastical elements to make the story feel like fantasy, but he also keeps it grounded in human emotions and everyday struggles. This blend makes the story both satisfying to read and a real heartbreaker.
The art is also outstanding—grandiose when it needs to be, subtle when required, and consistently creative. I really enjoyed it.
I highly recommend this book.
