Last of the Mohicans

The Last of the Mohicans Graphic Novel

I have read the original book, but not for years, I have seen the movies, and my grandson Matthew loves the old black and white tv series (John Hart and Lon Chaney) that lasted for just a year.  Here is the story of the white and Indian partner far before the Lone Ranger and Tonto and it stars Indians both good and bad and white people both good and bad.  Cooper really did right epic works in a series of books on Hawkeye and Chingachgook.

The book I just read is very different, not in story but in style.  I like graphic novels and Marvel in its breif history of doing classic books did an outstanding job with this story.  Roy Thomas was the person who pulled the graphic presentation together and it features a nice artwork that is dark in design to capture the drama of this story.  Imagine allowing the Indians to take the two white women so the others could go free!

This is true to the original and pulls you into the story with more honesty than the movies have done.
