review:
'The Danes' with art and story by Clarke tells an interesting story about race and genetics and does it in a somewhat thriller based way.

When a very blonde baby is born to a Muslim immigrant family living in Copenhagen, it creates a stir amongst the married couple, but it's proven that she is faithful to her husband. When it starts happening on a wider and wider basis, it creates a crisis. The immunologists and geneticists label the weird outbreak 'the Danes.' A reporter tries to uncover the larger plot which ties in a young unemployed man and a pharmaceutical company. Could this be a racist plot?

I liked this story of race and the lengths that some will go to remove race. The story takes place now, and I liked the ending. The art is also good. This was a thought-provoking read.

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.
