review:
'Percy Shelley 1' by David Vandermeulen with art by Daniel Casanave follows the young life of Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Percy Bysshe Shelley was born into an aristocratic family, but didn't want to follow his father in to politics. Instead, he wanted to be a poet and live off the family's money. His atheist pamphlets put him at odds with teachers and priests around him. His spur of the moment romances and proposals got him in to various trouble. The book ends with his relationship with his future wife Mary, the writer of 'Frankenstein.'
I liked this look at the life of this poet. I'm more familiar with people around him, so it was a good way to learn. I liked the illustration style. It was more cartoonish, but it fit the story pretty well.
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.
