We written, well illustrated in black white and brown. Essentially providing the background story of Cruella De Vil, from her childhood to her scheme to steel Dalmatian puppies. The story is a great addition to the original, and almost makes you feel sorry for Cruella, and the artwork pays good homage to the Disney film.. ( )

All I want is slap Cruella then give her a hug. Her mother deserves the misery she's going through. ( )

I do not typically read Graphic Novels, so this is a new genre for me. This is an interesting take on the 101 Dalmatians backstory highlighting a friendship between Cruella De Vil and her friend, Anita. It also examines Cruella's relationship with her parents.
I thought there were some gaps in the story with no explanation. But, a unique back story. ( )

A great graphic novel that gives the reader some insight as to how Cruelle de Vil came to be a viscious, lonely, bitter old woman. As you read the story, you feel for her. She's a lonely little girl, ignored by her mother, mourning the loss of her father. Was it the earrings? or was it because of the lack of affection from her mother that turned her into the villainess readers have come to know. Beautifully drawn, keeping to the red, black, white and grey scheme, this story will grab the reader and not let them go. Only downside was that it felt as if there were too many words for each panel. Other than that, it was enjoyable. ( )

I enjoyed this. Her incessant need for her mother's validation, her spunkiness, her regrets, and her pompous attitude make Cruella an interesting character. ( )
