Customer Reviews

Marlowe in the comic books!

Raymond Chandler's Marlowe: The Graphic Novel, A Trilogy of Crime is a series of 3 stories in 1 book (2 B & W art, 1 color ART with a great cover by Jim Steranko). This adapts Chandler's stories: GOLDFISH, TROUBLE IS MY BUSINESS and THE PENCIL. The adaptations are all terrific and spot on with the novels. GOLDFISH is in color with Bruce Timm/Darwyn Cooke style art by Rian Hughes. The whole thing is better than Michael Lark's LITTLE SISTER adaptation... Buy this if you are a MARLOWE fan. Great stuff.

Loved it

A great Steranko cover. Found the artwork on the first story to be the best but overall this was a great buy for anyone who likes Raymond Chandler. Totally recommended.

marlowe in three interpretations--all fascinating comics

this books collects three top chandler stories in comics form on heavy shiny paper. the adaptations are all terrific and "The Pencil" the adaptation of Chandler's last Marlowe short story is by Jerome Charyn, himself a top mystery writer. The art byRian Hughes for "Goldfish" is stunning. Noted comic book illustrator David Lloyd does Charyn proud with "The Pencil." Well-priced and framed by two Steranko covers.
