Silverwing: The Graphic Novel by Kenneth Oppel
4.0
Reread of a childhood favourite! This was for nostalgia, so I can't give it a rating. The graphics added a really cool element to it. Especially when you think about the transmission of stories and us reading the story through imagery. The bats in the story told their stories through echolocation and sound waves which became visual (in the story). It also makes me think of how many Indigenous societies told stories orally for centuries until white settlers disrupted it here on turtle island. However, we see the same orality from the Illiad to Beowulf.
