Reviews

[Ver · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the best Christie's comic I have read. The plot is very interesting, easy to follow and things are definitely connected, which cannot always be said about these series. The drawings were good too although Poirot could be more explicit. I will continue reading the series as they are a good recollation of the books that I've read some time ago.

Definitely one of the better comicbook adaptations. I remember the book quite well, having reread it not that long ago and it's quite a faithful one, too. Not much is removed, making the whole plot easy to follow and the art is one of the better ones.
