Marlowe

Diving back into the backlog tonight. I picked this one up from Don MacDonald at MICE (Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo) last September.

Title: Marlowe
Date: 2010
Publisher: Don MacDonald
Writer: Don MacDonald
Artist: Don MacDonald

Don MacDonald has been publishing an online graphic novel on the life of Niccolò Machiavelli. This ashcan previews a future work on Elizabethian playwright Christopher Marlowe. Like his work on Machiavelli, the Marlowe piece is meticulously researched and detailed. This preview ashcan just gives a taste of what is to come as Marlowe is lured into a new venture abroad by an old friend. Although there is not a lot of plot in this sample, there is plenty of flavor of the setting and MacDonald's art style works well with the characters and period.

Rating: 7.5/10
