This graphic novel is incredibly beautiful, but it needed to be longer - maybe eight comic issues instead of six? The earlier parts of the story, like Mommy Fortuna, are done in detail, but the period in King Haggard's castle feels kind of glossed over and rushed. As a fan of the book and movie, I was able to gloss over any left-out bits without it disturbing my reading, but my husband, who wasn't familiar with the original book or the movie, said he felt like he was missing something. Still, though, this is a must-have for Beagle fans, and the artwork is truly gorgeous.
