The Princess and the Frog Reviews

  • Rex Hurst

    This is a graphic novel adaptation of a Brothers Grimm classic. The story here is actually expanded upon from the original to fit the length of this book. It's a great children's book drawn by a master craftsman, but also good for completionists who want all of Will Eisner's work.

  • Norman

    Heh, I’m also just trying to finish my reading challenge. But these short books are great! We all can’t take everything so seriously. I just wish I were a child reading these books.

  • Meltha

    This is a fairly direct transcribing of one of the older versions of the fairy tale into graphic novel format, complete with the inclusion of Faithful Henry (no iron bands in this, though). It does give the background as to why the prince is turned into a frog, and the princess is moderately less horrid, apologizing to the frog after flinging him at a wall. The characters were rather thin, though, which is pretty normal for a fairy tale, but I would have liked a touch more depth. Still, it's a good rendition of the original with a few extra flourishes thrown in for good measure.

  • Karla

    This comic adaptation of the classic Princess and Frog story is a gem. Eisner masterfully illustrates both gesture and emotion.

  • Denise

    Personally, I think she should have bopped the frog on the nose, set up court like Queen Elizabeth... ah well, it is a cute little story.

  • Just a Girl Fighting Censorship

    Disappointing, a very basic telling of the Frog Prince, no frills here.

  • René

    ...

  • Roberta

    Will Eisner draws the classic Grimm's story of the princess and the frog in quite a funky way. it's a little treat for this long, lazy Sunday.

  • Jason

    haha... i feel like i'm cheating by adding this as a book. Still, its by will eisner. So, i'll take it.

  • Sylvester

    A nice take on the classical tale with some new elements. Lovers of Eisner's works would enjoy this.

  • briz

    A cheap way to finish my 2015 reading challenge; meh, it was blah. Will Eisner has achieved some pretty sublime heights, this wasn't one of them.

  • David

    Great comic art by a confident master, but it only makes you realize the sorry is is redicoulous.
