You know I'm a big Alice fan, so I couldn't resist the opportunity to purchase the Spanish version of Alice au Pays des Merveilles, written by David Chauvel, and illustrated by Xavier Collette. The story closely follows the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, which made me very happy, and the artwork is extraordinary. Collette's illustrations are, in fact, the main reason why I bought the book, and his work is solid throughout the seventy plus pages the story takes to develop. From the way he depicts the Cheshire Cat to the Caterpillar, the March Hare, or the Duchess, Collette's rendition of Wonderland's denizens is simply breathtaking. So, if you like the original text, or if you like great artwork, or if you thought Tim Burton's movie was horrible, drive to the nearest bookstore and get this book. You will not regret it.

Un estilo de dibujo que le pega mucho a Alicia, muy chulo, aunque la historia no me llame nada
Los dibujos y los colores son impresionantes, pero si no te gusta la historia, no hay nada que hacer. Pásate por la Fnac de Alicante (o El Corte inglés) y échale un vistazo, que lo tienen.
