The COMIC BOOK BIN concludes its reviews of the DELPHINE series with a look at the final issue...
Sample quote: "The first two issues of Delphine, Richard Sala’s reinvention of Snow White, were sparkling macabre gems. While the third could also be described as such, it was in the third chapter that the story took a turn into darker territory. It was then that the narrative point of view began to ask questions about the traveler’s relationship with Delphine. The readers only see Delphine as she is related to them by the traveler. He is obsessed with Delphine, and that makes everything about his narration suspect, which keeps the readers unbalanced. The bewildering events of this fourth volume race towards a stunning conclusion, one that is quietly horrifying, yet terrifying in its sadness.
The fourth book is a must for those who have read earlier issues, but it will make the uninitiated really want to read Delphine from the beginning.
Grade: A"

Omnivoracious Reviews Cat Burglar Black!
Read full review here:
Some samples:
Richard Sala's Cat Burglar Black is a charming and stylish escapade replete with homages to the Nancy Drew series,The Secret Garden, and even, in my opinion, the set-piece capers in the Tintin adventures...
I must admit to having a soft spot for mysteries set in schools--the principal appeal of the first three Harry Potter novels for me--and Sala's taken the best part of such childhood memories as Bugs Bunny or Abbott & Costello creeping through haunted mansions and wedded it to fond-remembered scenes involving the Thompson Twins (not, dear Misguided Ones, the pop band) and even, dare I say it, Scooby Doo...
The mystery is complex and at times devilish. When you've finished, you remember with fondness nights as a child curled up with a book and a hot cocoa on the couch. The book might be aimed at a younger age group, but adults should get a nostalgic smile out of it...
Thank you, Omnivoracious!
