Finally added up and worked out in my favor, lads. I could use one book to satisfy both themes of my reading challenges! The DYRC theme was comic/graphic novel and the Merry Misfits theme was a book that has been on your TBR pile too long. Obviously this is a comic, and it's been on my TBR since before it came out in the states.
I really really enjoyed this. The story behind this one is that these comics were released in the 1940s in Italy (two things I like) and just within the last year or two became available stateside in English. The art, by Romano Scarpa, is gorgeous. It looks very true to the Disney movie but also very Golden Age kids' comics. The stories themselves were simple and fun, and it was an overall fun read. Nothing about this was dumbed down, but it was still a nice easy read.
Here's my goodreads review. I produced actual thoughts... different than the ones here! So follow me on goodreads.
I started reading this April 26th and finished it May 6th. Yes, I am aware May 6th is not a part of April. But I did finish! I was just really busy.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Definitely, if you're a Disney fan or you love Snow White.
