The one complaint, are the rendering of a few of the characters: 1. COL Fitzwilliam. Not sure how old are the graphics artists, but he was around 33 years old, 6 or 7 years older than Darcy. In here he appears in his late 40's and not dashing at all. 2. Why is the Mrs. Bennet so old looking? She married when she was probably 17 or 18. The oldest girl is Jane, who is 22, that would make her around 40+ years old; In this version of PP she appears around 50 or so. At the same time, Mr. Bennet looks like the grandfather when he was probably in his mid forties. 3. Why does Darcy have so many wrinkles? He was 26 or 27 years and maybe that is old for a 20 year old, but at least I know different; and why is Ann wearing glasses, meaning that if you wear glasses you are a frump?
Besides that I just love this version of PP. I hope there are many more classic graphic novels to come.
Adapted by author Nancy Butler, the text does a surprisingly decent job of remaining faithful to its 19th-century origins. She keeps the action moving at a brisk pace, and while events are often shortened or tweaked to fit the graphic novel format, all of the plot's most famous scenes get their due. From Darcy's famous put-down at the Meryton assembly to his subsequent first (refused) proposal to Lizzy's first view of Pemberly, all key moments are brought to life with relative faithfulness to the original text.
I have mixed feelings abut illustrator Hugo Petrus's interpretation of Austen's classic tale. There are to be sure some gorgeously-rendered panels within these pages, and he has a nice eye for period detail. But the color palette is a bit darker than I'd prefer for Austen's brand of frothy social commentary. And many of the characters are blessed with such similar looks that it is difficult to tell them apart, particulary the bee-stung lipped younger Bennet sisters. However I enjoyed his realizations of Darcy, Mr. Bennet, Lady Catherine, and Lizzy in particular, though the latter suffers occasionally from some incredibly awkward facial expressions that detract from the emotin of key moments.
A pleasant way in which to while away an afternoon, this edition of Pride and Prejudice mostly hits all the right notes and could serve a a fresh way to introduce Austen to new readers.
So as a whole, this is a great addtition for any P&P fan but don't expect it to be the greatest visual rendition. I hope someone does a (good) manga version someday. Anyone up to the challange?
