This is a fabulous graphic version of the Dickens classic! The superb artwork is second to none! And I enjoyed how true to the original novel's text it is. It also brought me great memories of the great British 1935 version, the US 1938 film version, as well as The UK's Alastair Sim's fantastic early 1950s version. A great joy to read and experience!

This is a wonderful adaptation of the classic story that with the art plays more like a superb film. While you get a lot of Dickens in here you also get a beautiful visual experience that brings the story more alive than any other comic version ever produced. I was very impressed at how freshly compelling this edition made the story so many of us know nearly verbatim at this late date. This is a prime example of the comic book medium at its finest.
