5.0 out of 5 stars Worth The Money May 9 2004
By chris
Format:Paperback
Well, it was a few months ago when i ordered this book off Amazon, having heard so many good things about it. I am not heavily into comcis and graphic novels, but read the odd one now and again. And for those of you who seem to think this book is for teenage goths, I am just a normal teenage lad who was looking for something to read which was a bit more involving than the mainstream rubbish you seem to get these days.

And all I can say is 'wow'. The art is possibly the best I've ever seen (even if I was kind of suprised by Eric's somewhat femine appearance at times), and the writing is equally impressive. OK, so the gore is a bit over the top and perhaps un-needed, but if you look beneath it all you can see a very tragic story.

I am not even goin to mention James O'Barr and whatever it was that happened to him and inspired him to make this book, because it has no relation to the pure quality of it all.

An excellent read, and not just for goths!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Love Story masterpiece April 22 2004
By Aaron Edward
Format:Paperback
It took me seven long years to finally find this novel. When I recieved it in the mail and openned it up, I was not dissapointed. As a matter of fact, this is the only piece of art (movies, books, etc.) that has ever really made an impression on me.

The story is a classic love and revenge story. Man and woman who are deeply in love are both murdered and man comes back to life to avenge their murder. However, James O'Barr has written this story with such a passion(this story is loosly based on his own personal tragedy). It's as if he bleed his soul on paper and put it into book form.

However, this book should be read with a slow pace. It is easy to miss some of the smaller things in this book. I made the mistake of reading it fast. I went back and read it slowly and it was five times better.

A must read if you are into a. Comics b. Love Stories or c. Poetry

5.0 out of 5 stars A vision of wonders. April 5 2004
By Abbie
Format:Paperback
So you open the cover, viewing already some magnificient artwork. Then there's the foreword. A touching thing to enter J. O'baar's graphic novel with. Then, flip of the page, and we have a memeralia for Brandon Lee, our friend whom died in the making of the moving. Generously, it's nice.

This story is a fine line on wonder, and mystere. Sadness, and despair. The whole imagery has a kind of emotion to it. Generally, I recommend this book for ages 16 and up.

I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art
I have been a fan of "The Crow" for years and believe it to be one of the greatest graphics novels ever inked. The pain reflected in the story line is monumentous. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointment
Melodramatic- falls flat. I liked the art well enough, and amidst all the nonsensical crap, there were a few nice lines, but Lord. How on earth can anyone take this seriously? Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars True
"The Crow" has become a phenomena for three reasons. First, it's a story that anyone with a mind can enjoy (and even some who dont). Second, it is a classic story. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dated.
I have to say I remeber the hype that surrounded the Crow comic in the early 90's but now in 2003 the book seems to lack the inital impact and here is a few reasons why. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best graphic novel of our time
This is the best graphic novel of our time. Nothing will ever come close to The Crow. The story and the art will touch every emotion in your soul if you take the time to read it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetic carnage candy.
This is probably one of the best graphic novels of all time. The book that spawned a movie version starring BRANDON LEE (and a few lame sequels/series), is a LOT more violent and... Read more
