A Hat, A Bat, Manhattan

Title: A Hat, A Bat, Manhattan
Date: 2010
Publisher: Satisfactory Comics
Writer: Allegra Bishop
Artist: Allegra Bishop

Halloween minicomic from Allegra Bishop and Satisfactory Comics. Mirco-sized (1/8), consisting of rhyming verse on the left side of each spread, with an accompanying illustration. The comic is a tribute to eccentric (and slightly creepy) actress Sarah Bernhardt, who lived in New York City's Chelsea Hotel. The poetry has some wonderful words, and the illustrations work nicely with the scene that the words set up.

This is quite a bit different from the usual zombie fare that a lot of publishers come up with for Halloween and it made for a refreshing take on the haunting season.

Rating: 7.5/10
