An Accurate Interpretaion With blah Art
Being a rabid SF fan and also having read the novel I had very high expectations for “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep”. We all know that this novel was the basis for the great SF movie, “Blade Runner”.
The movie was a very loose interpretation of the PKD’s original masterpiece. This graphic novel is starting off as a literal translation of the novel ‘enhanced’ by the graphics.
I put the word, ‘enhanced’, in quotes because the art does not do this masterpiece justice. If you are going to release a graphic novel of a great science fiction classic I would expect only the very finest art work just out of respect for Phillip K Dick.
My judgment is that the art here is barely adequate and is the biggest let-down to this graphic novel. This could have been something great. Instead it’s just adequate. If you loved the movie or the novel or both then it could still be of interest to you.
For me it is no more than a curiosity.
