The Phantom: Man-Eaters (Phantom
The Phantom, en route to his beloved Bengalla to bury the remains of his childhood friend Mente Olalla, the victim of zombification, receives an emergency call; a series of murders is taking place in the small village of Tsajaban, presumably the work of man-eating lions!

It's a fast-paced, thrilling, and enjoyable bit of adventure. The plot is a little weak, and there isn't much of a twist. However, the writing is tense and proves to be quite the page turner.
The art is a bit of a mixed bag. Character's proportions sometimes seem off, creating a bit of an inconsistent with what little art there is in this book (about one panel per page). This is less graphic novel and more novella with art.
I liked it overall, and the coloring really fit with the old-fashioned adventure story tone of the writing.

This isn't a traditional graphic novel, but rather a prose story with very nice illustrations taking up half (or better) of each page. I found it very hard to read because the type is quite small and is white against a black background. The art is very good, similar in style to the work of Barry Windsor-Smith or Michael Kaluta in a Hal Foster-influenced style. The story is entertaining, though it's much more the story of Agent Seneca Greaves than Kit Walker. The only complaint I had was that she faints at the end of chapter nine, which seemed quite out of character since she'd been such a stalwart trooper up to that point. It's a fun read for Phantom fans, and the transition from comic strip to illustrated prose is a fun variation.

Yet another fantastic "Phantom" book from Moonstone publishing.
