Edward Scissorhands Volume 1: Parts Unknown

Product Information

Not just because it obviously has Edward in it, but also the complete feel of the novel was almost the same for me.

This new graphic novel is a continuation of the Edward Scissorhand’s story from Tim Burton’s 1990 film. Edward Scissorhands was then fast tracked after Burton's critical and financial success with Batman. Peg finds Edward alone and offers to take him to her home after discovering he is virtually harmless. One snowy evening, an elderly woman tells her granddaughter the bedtime story of a young man named Edward, who has scissor blades for hands. Edward is found living alone in the attic of a Gothic castle, a setting that is also used for main characters in Burton's Batman and The Nightmare Before Christmas.The illustrations were also pretty great, some frames were a bit hectic and hard to understand for me, but for the most part it felt very much like Tim Burton. Megs, as she is known throughout the series, has always been curious about Edward and his past relationship with her Grandmother. I did however feel like the story could have been padded out a little more, although I understand that this isn’t always easy with the format of a graphic novel.

Molto colore, nero e chiaroscuri sapientemente utilizzati per le atmosfere più gothic o i momenti di suspense, contorni marcati e accostamenti attraenti.

I loved the characters as well, though I really missed Kim, and before starting the book I was expecting that this might begin with Kim and Edward’s relationship. In this graphic novel Kim is dead and her granddaughter Meg wants to find out about the whole "murder" thing. Un seguito delicato quanto spensierato del film firmato Tim Burton, adatto anche a un pubblico più giovane rispetto al target del film. A lovely story and I'm looking forward to read more Edward Scissorhands graphic novels, although I miss Kim. Prior to Edward, the inventor worked on many other projects, which we were given an insight to throughout the film.
