Product Description
Product Description
Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show howls into Green Town, Illinois, at three in the morning a week before Halloween. Under its carnival tents is a mirror maze that steals wishes; a carousel that promises eternal life, in exchange for your soul; the Dust Witch, who unerringly foresees your death; and Mr. Dark, the Illustrated Man, who has lived for centuries off the misery of others. Only two boys, Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, recognize the dark magic at work and have a plan to stop this ancient evil -- that is, if it doesn't kill them first. Something Wicked This Way Comes is Ray Bradbury's incomparable work of dark fantasy, and the gifted illustrator Ron Wimberly has stunningly captured its sinister magic in gorgeously realized black-and-white art. Complete with an original introduction by Bradbury, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes: The Authorized Adaptation reintroduces this thrilling classic.

This review is from: Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes (Paperback)
Great illustrations but large gaps of story telling in this book. The story is missing much of the original foundation.

Conversation?, Dec 5 2011
By M. Mooney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes (Paperback)
It seems that the conversations have holes. Reading from one character to the next does not flow as it should. It's almost like entire sentences are missing.I have not read the original novel, but have seen the movie. This book is lacking so much information from the movie, that I imagine it barely touches on the content of the novel.
The art is ok, but nothing fascinating.
This probably could have been done well as a series of graphic novels, but as one, it stinks.

Excellent, Dec 16 2011
By Christy Petty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes (Paperback)
Ingenious visuals to an intriguing and magical story. Characters are rich and the drawings capture the reader in Bradbury's bizarre world. Love this artist!
