Revisit the Hundred Acre Wood

Winnie-the-Pooh: The Graphic Novel by A.A. Milne, Kevan Chandler and Joe Sutphin

September 4, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Winnie-the-Pooh: The Graphic Novel by A.A. Milne, Kevan Chandler (Adapter), Joe Sutphin (Adapter/Illustrator) It took a bit to read this because I was using an online reader, and a few pages were “split,” so I couldn’t get the “full picture” with images. I also “put down” the reader to start reading other books as it is not due until October 2026 and figured I had some time to finish at a later date. The original story and this book might vary a bit from each […]

A Familiar story (Sort Of)

Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) by Kathleen Gros

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) was adapted by Kathleen Gros. They are the same creator of Jo: An Adaptation of Little Women (Sort Of). Which, I preferred to the Anne story for several reasons. The biggest being it was the first book I had read by Gros and therefore, the format was fresh to me. With Anne, I kept thinking, “I have read this. Wait, it reminds me of that Jo book….” Since I have also never read the original […]

“The latest graphic novel by William Shakespeare”

Yorick and Bones by Jeremy Tankard

October 15, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You must have a certain type of humor to understand some of Yorick and Bones. The Shakespearian references can be amusing, but not always easy to read. I have a very basic knowledge on the subject; therefore, I was able to see the humor/joke and able to read the parts that are more “Shakespearian language” in nature. Yorick themselves only speaks in that “old English/Shakespearian” (to a point) which is where the humor comes from. However, it is modern enough to keep today’s reader not […]

    on Y’all… a delightful break from the stress of life
    I'm not generally into shifter romances, but the title really is awesome.

    on I don’t know if finding the perfect man is worth all of this
    That is definitely NOT what I am looking for in a romance.
