Billed as a drawn novel, written by Ande Parks and drawn by Chris Samnee, this is what a graphic novel should be.
This is the story of Truman Capote's writing of IN COLD BLOOD. It shows the writer traveling to Kansas and his failed attempts to talk to the townspeople where the tragedy occured and his eventual success.
IN COLD BLOOD was a true crime novel, telling the story of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock and the brutal slayings of the Clutter family.
Truman is not always a sympathic character in this story, from the telling Truman is not always a very likable character, but Parks makes you care about his struggle to tell this story. And the art is wonderful, the black and white artwork brings the story to life.
All this and there's a ghost too. You might think that throwing a ghost into this mix might be too much, but the use of the ghost actually gives this tale a certain closure.
CAPOTE IN KANSAS is written by Ande Parks and drawn by Chris Samne and published by Oni Press.
