Not quite the same as reading the original, but a fun, touching diversion. ( )

Love the book itself and I love Sfar’s The Little Vampire. But this is a bad edition not sticking to the truth of the story. ( )

In this classic story, an aviator crashes his plane in the desert, stranding himself until he meets The Little Prince. The Little Prince is also an adventurer, traveling from asteroid to asteroid across the universe. On his travels, the Little Prince meets a variety of characters, such as the egotistical king, the greedy businessman, the hopeless drunk, the obedient lamp lighter, and the Prince's true love, his rose. Throughout his stories, the Little Prince shares lessons of childhood, innocence, friendship, love, and loss.

Although the original The Little Prince is one of my favorite stories in the world, I found this graphic novel adaptation to be somewhat unappealing. It does a nice job of telling the original story and keeping to the original plot, and it captures the fantastical elements of the story, but the character's faces and facial expressions can be quite distracting. The colors used throughout can be beautiful accents, creating a variety of moods, from the stories more serious moments to its silly ones, but again, some of the depictions just felt unappealing to me!

I loved both this version and the other version of "The Little Prince." There is some differences on how both authors portray the artwork. Not a big deal. Both get the point across. This version kinda of goes more in depth compared to the other in my opinion. So if you get confused, this version may answer your questions. This version is also a bit humorous compared to the other. In the end it's a beautiful version! Well done! ( )
