![]() And, seriously, I read enough comics that this shouldn't be a problem for me. So odd, in fact, that I wasn't sure I was reading the panels in the correct order. ![]() Sometimes it made sense.ish, but there were multiple times that it was just and odd pause in the story. There were some weird panels where a character would just stop in the middle of a thought and just.stare. The art, though? It was a different story. The dialogue was clunky, but it was all there. Like, the author didn't skimp on the story.

Was Charles Wallace an obnoxious know-it-all in the book? Were all of the characters annoyingly vague and cryptic in the original? And surely the dialogue was better, right? But Jesus.this made me rethink why I have such fond memories of it. ![]() I'm holding up my worn out, coverless copy as proof. And I loved that book when I was a kid.Įasily, it was my favorite. Well, I can't say I enjoyed that very much, and it pretty much put me off ever re-reading the book. ![]()
