review:
'The Archipelago on Fire' by Giorgos Vlachos with art by Thanasis Karabalios is a graphic novel adaptation of a Jules Verne story.
The setting is the freeing of Greece from the Ottoman empire. Pirates attack ships for cargo. Among those is Greek pirate Nikolas Starkos. Starkos is vying for a woman that has been promised to French lieutenant Henry d'Albaret, but she has gone missing.
The adaptation is fine, I just think the story has a bit too much melodrama in it for modern sensibilities. The art works, but, like the story, feels a bit heavy-handed.
