Title: Slight Short Stories-Stick to Prince Valiant
Review: I have to confess that I was very dissapointed with the three volumes of the Bois-Maury series. As a category of creative fiction, Franco-Belgian graphic novels have a very good reputation. Hermann is famous as one of the better known author/illustrators. But in the final analysis, the three books of this series are not really novels. They are more similar to not very well thought out short stories. The artwork was decent but could not save very slight short stories to which the art is tied. If you are interested in historical graphic novels, stick to Hal Foster's Prince Valiant books. Foster's artwork is superior and he had the time and space to tell substantial stories.
