Giant Vol. 1 by Mikael is a graphic novel based on the iconic picture of workers sitting on the high girders of the skyscrapers rising over the skyline of New York during the Depression. It is a beautifully drawn and inked tale of New York and the men who built it. Although overall, I enjoyed this book, I do have one fairly major criticism. The dialogue bubbles varied based on who was speaking as well as in the letters between Giant and Mary Ann. This was fine for native New Yorkers or for the correspondence. However, the words of the Irish workers tended to be jumbled together, I’m guessing to suggest their accents but this made it difficult to read. As a result, I almost gave up but I’m glad I didn’t. Based on other parts of the story, I was able to at least get the gist if not to actually decipher the words and it did not interfere overly with my enjoyment.
Despite this problem, I found Giant a lovely poignant story with beautifully detailed art that perfectly evoked the era and the men who braved the high girders. Thanks to the marvelous art, I was able to understand and appreciate the story even when I could not read the dialogue.
Thanks to Netgalley and Europe Comics for the opportunity to read this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review ( )
