Inhaltsangabe

Clover yearns to be the girl she once was before becoming a fanged bloodsucker and, imprisoned by her brother, she plans her escape. The result is a sexy, sophisticated horror romp that wears its colorful Pop sensibility on its sleeve. Katie Skelly's sex-positive attitude and emotionally rich work makes for a wonderfully moody, progressive, and engaging read.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

My Pretty Vampire is the best '60s underground gem that never was, a descent into big hair and paisley politics by acclaimed cartoonist Katie Skelly.

A playful riff on vampire tropes, My Pretty Vampire is a colorful collision of Euro-arthouse, pop, and exploitation influences.

Katie Skelly's My Pretty Vampire is a very fresh take on the iconic bloodsuckers.

Skelly's newest graphic novel My Pretty Vampire is a sensual, colorful rampage.

The story by Katie Skelly is dark, funny, and intuitive. The art by Skelly is incandescent and the way she draws is quite gorgeous.

With a retro vibe that combines elements of traditional vampire lore and the excesses of an era of exploitation cinema, My Pretty Vampire is, aesthetically, a fascinating fusion of cute and appealing visuals with uncompromisingly brutal violence.

This is a terrific comic, all puce and meringue and hot blood red, a plush and inky world through which a vampire woman staggers, amoral and starved, the escaped possession of her family bent on finding a vein of consumption that befits her idea of herself.

My Pretty Vampire is the best '60s underground gem that never was, a descent into big hair and paisley politics by acclaimed cartoonist Katie Skelly.

Reseña del editor:

Clover ― the “pretty” vampire of the title ― is a Bardot-esque blonde who dreams of the (now-dead) girl she once was four years ago before becoming a fanged bloodsucker. She is being kept prisoner by her brother, Marcel, who fears Clover will be hunted by the outside world (and who may have other, more selfish motivations as well). Clover’s curiosity, however, will not be suppressed: impetuous, sensual, strong-willed, and fearless, she plans her escape. The resultant havoc would make Dario Argento proud.
