review:
'The Last Jungle Book: 1.Man' by Stephen Desberg with art by Henri Reculé states that it is freely adapted from Kipling's The Jungle Book, and it's not a bad adaptation.
The framing story involves an older Mowgli traveling back to where it all began. He has a series of flashbacks showing how he was orphaned by a fierce tiger, then taken in and raised by a pack of wolves. The wolves protect him from the tiger, but there may not be complete harmony amongst the pack. The story is intercut with the old Mowgli on his journey as he relects on his childhood.
I liked the story and it's a mostly faithful adaptation of the source material. The art works well for the story. It has a classic adventure style to it that suits the story. I would have liked more of the older Mowgli story, but I suspect that will happen in the later volumes.
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.
