Audubon, on the Wings of the World by Fabien Grolleau
2.0
As a birder, I found this interesting enough to keep me going, but then turned a bit sour at the end when in the notes the author talks about the "imagined" encounters that took place during the story. They did preface the story by stating it was a romanticized work of Audubon's life, but after finishing it one is left to wonder what, if anything was real besides some of the hardcore facts and what was just made up. Outside of that, the author and artist lack control of the graphic novel as a medium for storytelling as can often be seen by the thousands of "Hahaha" word bubbles that offer nothing to the story. That said, as a bird-nerd, I'll probably pass this down to someone - most like some children. I thought it was going to be one I'd keep on my shelves until reading the notes on the "imagined" encounters.
