Graphic Novel: The Last Unicorn

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

If I had to pick a graphic novel in the ones that I had seen so far for "most beautiful art" I would probable pick "The Last Unicorn." I'm sure several people are familiar with the old and somewhat corny 1980's animated movie with the same title. Indeed the graphic novel "The Last Unicorn" is the adaptation or the original story and the movie - just better. The characters are the exact ones that we've come to know in the movie and the narrative is the exact same with the exception of a few pages. Compared to the movie, the art in the graphic novel doesn't look as "cheap". In fact it's greatly detailed and atmospheric. It's textured and the style that the characters are done in makes them appear and look more mature than the way that they appear in the movie. The narrative seems to flow better, an overall it just has more of an impact than the movie does. The Last Unicorn is worth a look if you like clean but pretty graphic novels.
