The Facts In The Case Of The Departure Of Miss Finch

The Facts In The Case Of The Departure Of Miss Finch
 by Neil Gaiman, Michael Zulli & Todd Klein  
51 pages

This graphic novel is based on a short story in one of Gaiman’s compilations that I recently read.  It was pretty good, as graphic novels go.  Miss Finch (not her real name) was in England for only a short time and friends of the narrator of the story had agreed to entertain her for an evening.  They asked the narrator to join them in hopes that it would make the evening more bearable.  They went to a circus.  It wasn’t a normal circus, however, and the group thought most of it was a little hokey, until Miss Finch was chosen a volunteer from the audience.  After that, the show got much more intense.  I really felt that the graphic format added something to the story.  I liked the original version of it pretty well, but the illustrations helped bring it to life a little better for me.  Fans of Gaiman will probably like this and some fans of the hero type graphic novel might also like this book.
