5.0 out of 5 stars
Not meant for kids; but exceptionally strong for adults with eyes
This was recommended to me by Todd Martinez at Comic Relief, the great comic bookstore in Berkeley CA. Martinez knows his stuff; and so does Mattotti. I teach drawing and design to future technical directors and graphic designers. I want to add graphic novels to my collection in the classroom studio that emphasize strong graphic drama, drawing ability,...

Graphic warning needed
I purchased this title for my library's teen graphic novels collection on the strength of Publishers Weekly review. "Beautifully illustrated" indeed. Illustrated depictions of sado-masochism,prostitution and cannabalism. The editorials should have warned that this "interpretation" is for adults only!

This review is from: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Hardcover)
This was recommended to me by Todd Martinez at Comic Relief, the great comic bookstore in Berkeley CA.Martinez knows his stuff; and so does Mattotti. I teach drawing and design to future technical directors and graphic designers. I want to add graphic novels to my collection in the classroom studio that emphasize strong graphic drama, drawing ability, idiosyncracy, character design, and cinematic framing and timing. Lorenzo Mattotti is a master of all of these. Every 2-page spread is integrated in color and sweeping angles and echoing, simplified forms. The color is vivid, and seems to be applied in layers of Prismacolor pencils or oil pastels. Look, this is X rated: it is, after all, about a guy who becomes a monster. It's the Expressionist art that attracts me. This book won an Eisner award.

This review is from: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Hardcover)
Mattotti is by far my favorite illustrator. I got in touch with his art in the 1980's ,and his connection to architecture and design is visible in his refined style.
