This review is from: Trapped (Paperback)

First of all, this book (a graphic story) is based on the story of the same name in Koontz's Strange Highways anthology. And while the story is well-written and exciting, the graphic story version is not as good. The graphics themselves are excellent, but like novel adaptations to movies, this adaptation seemed to be missing something. The pace was too quick and suspense was absent throughout much of the book. The dialogue translated well into word bubbles, but much of the details and description were not left to the imagination. And much of the same were just omitted. So overall, I liked the book, but I would much rather read the story without the pictures. Prose is Koontz's forte, not scripting comic books.
