The Crow: Special Edition
By James O'Barr
- Release Date: 2011-07-26
- Genre: Comics & Graphic Novels
Description
The definitive edition of the classic graphic novel—including never-before-seen material and a new introduction by the author.
When James O’Barr poured the pain and anguish of a personal tragedy into the drawings that comprise The Crow, his intensely cathartic story of Eric—who returns from the dead to avenge his and his fiancée’s murder at the hands of a street gang—resonated with readers around the world. Now, the illustrated tale that became the “thrilling” (Los Angeles Daily News) and “spectacular” (Chicago Tribune) screen triumph is re-released in an expanded version the author originally intended, complete at last with:
—Thirty pages of never-before-seen artwork, including a new closing segment, “Sparklehorse,” and the touching new scene, “An August Noel”
—A new Introduction by James O’Barr
—Lost sequences restored using the artist’s original technique
This is The Crow like you’ve never seen it before—the powerful journey of an avenging angel and a celebration of true love...as fierce, intelligent, and unforgettable as when it was first conceived.
Suggested for mature readers.

5By Blah1996Some of the pictures and scenes were beautiful and moving. I loved how realistic it seemed and the story itself was amazing. It's tear-jerking and memorable. I give it 11/10 :)Buy if you love the movie

5By Ibanez564I thought it was even better than the movie! The art was done very well, it was a real page turner couldn't put it down must read!Good book, bad scans.
4By Nacho_MommaI enjoyed the book and like the fact that now it is digital but sadly the scans off the images at the end of the book are not that high res and looks like the colors are where off when they scanned them. Over all great book.A comic masterpiece.
5By ATKukulskiThis book has been a part of my life for almost 20 years. It is a dark, violent, painful yet somehow beautiful journey into the mind of madness and ultimate vengeance of victims. It grabs onto you and does not let go. After seeing the movie in 1994 and reading this for the first time, I had to had anything to do with The Crow from that day forward. It is great to see it make it's transition into the digital age.Deuce
