Even before they were written and collected, fairy tales tantalized readers with glimpses of realms beyond our own. Any Human who ventured into those realms saw great wonders but paid a price. Helen Of Wyndhorn #2 reminds us that early 20th-century fantasy authors like Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft suffered mental afflictions and died young. Yet their tales of magic and wonder, populated by heroes, monsters, and gods, left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. Read Full Review

I'm really enjoying the complex characterization of Helen who is still annoying, drunk, and unruly all the time, but was the only person who believed in her father, CK Cole. King resists speeding up the plot to get to more of the quest/fantasy elements to delve into the shared trauma of Barnabas and Helen that reveals itself through rage, isolation, and alcoholism.

As the broader story develops, Bilquis Evely's presentation of every portion of this setting remains absolutely stunning. Even the interiors of the manner are bound to impress with vaulted ceilings and detailed backgrounds filled with books, wine, or weapons. Yet the exterior establishing panels are consistently jaw-dropping and provide readers sufficient cause to keep reading with wondrous green fields and gardens that appear to be from another world, perhaps they are.

Un Cómic Más / Dave DSG

Apr 17, 2024

Plot Thomas Roger wrote a book about the tragic life of C.K Cole, based on the interview he did with Lilith Appleton, the housekeeper who took care of Helen when her father committed suicide. This comic tells how Helen asks her grandfather Barnabas Cole for answers about the monster that attacked them and he stopped, but she gets no answer, only elusive screams and the destruction of the dining room. Helen one day discovers her grandfather with an animal called FlyUne, which she knows thanks to reading her father's books, but this is a fantastic being and she believed that they did not exist, the mansion and those around Wyndhorn hide mysteries, which she tries to discover, because her father always told her that the books he wrote n ever came from his imagination. Lilith confronts Barnabas to be more attentive to her granddaughter, although he annoys her, she agrees and takes Helen to the mountains to take the Flytune to her mother. This story is addictive, full of mystery and told in an interesting way, from Lilith's point of view but based on the analysis of the writer Thmas Roger, who is currently seeking to listen to the recordings again just when he finds out that Lilith died... Art It is very organic and full of hypnotizing details, each panel transports you to the 1940s with a lot of realism but at the same time balances it with great fantastical elements. Although the comic is drawn, it seems as if it were painted in oil, the artistic level of this series is impressive. Summary Helen distrusts her grandfather and she needs answers, but she surely isn't ready to face a reality outside of our world. more
