Reading Challenges: Graphic Novel

Two of literary comics modern masters present a pair of magical and disturbing stories of strange creatures who are not quite what they seem! In The Price, a mysterious feline engages in a nightly conflict with an unseen, vicious foe. The Daughter of Owls recounts an eerie tale of a beautiful orphan girl who was found clutching an owl pellet--and how those who would do her wrong would face bizarre, unforeseen consequences.

Two great stories illustrated for the fans. I loved "The Price" when I read it in strictly text form, but it's even better with pictures. I loved the adaptation. "The Daughter of Owls" wasn't quite as excited for me, but it was still enjoyable. I wasn't the biggest fan of the illustration style, but it was nice few minutes reading.
