review 1: As usual, beautiful illustrations from David B. I read pretty much everything he puts out because I love his style and the way he integrates the surreal/dream-world into his stories. However, this one just didn't do much for me. I felt like the translation was clunky (I hope--because there was a lot of awkward, stilted dialogue) and many of the characters were one-dimensional. Overall, I didn't actually feel like finishing the book, but read the whole thing hoping it might get better as I went. It didn't, but I still enjoyed the illustrations. Might be of more interest to history/military buffs, maybe?
review 2: Post-World War I, there's a lot of whimsical crimey/politico/war-is-hell stuff going on in the port city of Fiume. Plot-wise, this is forgettable... more and slight, and it did take an actual force of will to go back to reading it to begin with. But when it got going around halfway in, it fair rattled along pleasantly, and the charismatic, interesting art makes up for the shortcomings I found. less
