Tale of Brin & Bent and Minno Marylebone
Tale of Brin & Bent and Minno Marylebone | Ravi Thornton
1 post | 1 read
Brin and Bent are poolkeepers at The House for the Grossly Infirm. Their days are spent abusing the House residents with bleach and chlorine, spying on them through holes they have drilled in the walls. They do not know that someone else comes to the pool at night: Minno Marylebone, a child like no other. Pure and beautiful, every night the child enters the water and becomes celestial, laughing and riding the currents as the pool turns into a sea. Then one night Brin and Bent find the wax that has spilled from Minno's candle and decide to lie in wait... With this dark yet achingly beautiful tale, Ravi Thornton takes the graphic novel to a new level. The combination of her deft and masterful writing with the stunning artwork of Andy Hixon creates a wondrous and dark experience.

I loved the artwork in this, but I was alternately disturbed and intrigued. It was dark and unsettling, I'm not sure how I feel about it. The language was beautiful and the author's story about writing it was sad and informed the tone of the book. Has anyone read this? What did you think? I especially am interested in hearing thoughts on the Minno parts. @Liberty
