review:
'The Silent Invasion: Red Shadows' by Larry Hancock with art by Michael Cherkas is a cult-classic graphic novel from a few decades past full of mystery and paranoia.

Matt Sinkage is a reporter in a town in the 1950s. He is intrigued by a woman in trouble, which leads him to a group of conspiring communists. His involvement with her leads to interest by the FBI, and he ends up being suspected of being a sympathizer. To add to the weirdness, there are UFOs and people that Matt knows who are just not acting normal.

Originally published in the late 1980s, I liked the vibe of the book. It was a good nostalgic look at the kind of comics I was sometimes reading. Does it hold up 30+ years later? Not so much. The story pace feels a bit sluggish, but the art has a cool 1980s look to it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from NBM Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
