review:
'Stevenson, The Pirate Within' by Rodolphe with art by Rene Follet is a graphic novel biography of the famous writer Robert Louis Stevenson.

We first meet Mr. Stephenson when he is a young man, but the book provides flashbacks to his childhood. Throughout the book he is plagued by illness, which is presented as the spectre of a pirate. There are books he wrote, places he travelled, the woman he loved.

It's presented well, and the book ends with a timeline of his life. There are references to well known and (at least to me) lesser known works. I liked his imagination having a part to play in the story and I assume he had a pretty good one. The art is a painted style and is quite nice.

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.
