Jan 27, Marquise rated it did not like it Shelves: I had to mull over how to rate this carefully, and, boy, is this one hard book to rate! On one hand, there's the story itself, scripted by Hugo Pratt. It's a gritty tale of conflict between English settlers in s North America and Indian natives that starts when a white girl from the town is cornered by two Native young men whilst taking a walk and is raped, which calls bloody vengeance on the culprits.
But although that's the opening plotline, it's not the central one. Instead, the focus is o I had to mull over how to rate this carefully, and, boy, is this one hard book to rate! Instead, the focus is on the Lewis family, a single mother and her four children, and their vicissitudes that result from one of the Lewis boys taking the victim to their farm, which in turn becomes a battlefield for the English soldiers and the Indians.
The Lewises are an interesting family, and very messed up, too. The mother is a Hester Prynne type of "fallen woman," who carries her own "scarlet letter" in the form of a mark on her face, and lives in an isolated farm and is shunned by Puritan society from the town as she's never revealed the identity of the father of her four children. But unlike Hawthorne's heroine, she's a really tragic woman and whose true story, revealed near the end, is a gut-wrenching one and can be really hard to read. Her eldest son, Elijah, is the most likable of them all and the noblest, not to mention the only one that is right in the head.
The two next, Abner and Phillis, elicit very conflicting feelings, especially the latter, because on one hand you can understand why they're so shocking in their ways, but on the other hand you might dislike them for that same reason. Their story is very dark, and it doesn't pull no punches, yet at the same time you feel like the author didn't waste ink in trying to romanticise one side and demonise the other, for both sides are at fault in this conflagration. But whilst no camp is clear-cut good or bad, the same cannot be said of the characters, for they're not all gray; there's black and white too.
So far, so good. And now we come to the art, and that's where I find issues to take note of. In reality, my issues could be summed up in two words: Had it not been for Pratt, I'd not have picked this up, because Manara I know well and have an endless list of observations to his work from all my prior reads.

No, it's not that it's adult level of eroticism; there's plenty of artists who always are drawing only erotic or sensual art, like Luis Royo, and I love them. No, it's not that he is explicit, more so than other erotic art illustrators.
It's that Manara panders to the most perverted side of men with his provocative and often problematic handling of dubious consent and non-consensual intercourse. When Manara is illustrating, it's all male gaze, male gaze everywhere, and nothing but male gaze.

For that, he often inserts sudden and out-of-nowhere nudes, women all of a sudden lift their skirts and show everything, or appear suddenly nude from one panel to the next in inviting poses even when the story doesn't call for it, and so on. And it's so grating! It sours the storytelling up. He already courted a big controversy when he drew a cover for Spider-Woman in which he drew the superheroine in an overtly provocative pose and it wasn't even the first time he did that, just the one that got more press coverage.
And he doesn't stop at unnecessary nudity and shock, which in itself would be bothersome but depending on the reader it can be ignored for the sake of the story. It's that he crosses the line into depicting what's totally unacceptable from whichever angle you look at it: It involves the same girl whose rape sparks the disastrous war between Indians and settlers, for she's forced into sex a second time again by someone else and this time she's made to tell her new rapist that he's not like her first rapists but better and she actually enjoys it this time round.
There's many instances of rape in this book, but this is the one that was handled the poorest. There's plenty of adult themes here, violence, etc. Other than that, the art is visually appealing and with a pleasing palette of colours; I suspect it's his talent what allows the artist to get away with a lot of what he does. This isn't a book I'd recommend if you don't think you can take all this in.
If you think you can have a try at this, or are used to grimdark storytelling, then consider yourself forewarned about what you may expect from this. Jun 13, Algernon rated it really liked it Shelves: They play to each other's strengths, as Pratt is a thorough researcher and a great plotter for dark tales but a more modest draughtsman, and Manara is a very good artist when he is held in check and not going overboard with nudity and with being provocative.
I liked the colour palette in particular in this issue, a lot of yellow and orange and ochre and desaturated greens and blues. And I should mention from the start that this story is also adult oriented material, like my previous El Gaucho experience, dealing with rape, incest, murder, witch hunting, war. I'll let the images talk, and limit my synopsis at mentioning it is a tale set in New England in the seventenn century, in a Puritan settlement next to an Indian village.
Some connections could be made to The Last of the Mohicans, but the focus is more on the lack of communication between the natives and the settlers and on the hypocrisy of the moralists who hate women references to Salem events May 20, Nina rated it it was ok Shelves: IDEK, gorgeous art except apparently Manara deliberately draws one identical 'cock goes where?
