review:
'A Son of the Sun' by Fabien Nury with illustrations by Eric Henninot is an adaptation of stories from Jack London. I was unfamiliar with these stories, but this one was a good one.

A man named Parlay is dying, and he is putting the word out that his vast collection of pearls is going up for auction. A man named David Grief hears of it, but is told that he is not invited. The reasons for that become clear as we learn of Parlay's past and his daughter Armande. Grief has his own reasons for being there, but what is Parlay's true intention for having this auction?

It's definitely a tale of its time, with not much in the way of political correctness. There is cruelty and darkness. There are some interesting tricks along the way.

The art is quite good. It fits the story and feels like a Classics Illustrated story. I really liked the style.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
