“It‘s not Death if you Refuse it.”

The Crow has been one of my top favorite films since I first watched it in the ‘90s. So glad I finally got around to reading the graphic novel. A little different from the film, but still a great story with some pretty cool artwork.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Apparently 4 calling birds were actually 4 “colly” birds at one point. “Colly”birds were blackbirds so I give you The Crow. I didn‘t know this was originally a graphic novel in 1989. I feel like the movie was a big deal when it came out in 1994. I was in high school and remember seeing it in the theater. Now I want to hunt down the graphic novel.

Hey! It‘s the night before Halloween aka Devil‘s Night aka the night The Crow takes place. This is one instance I can think of where I love the movie so much and yet I have no desire whatsoever to read the material that it‘s based on.

I‘m going to put it on and see how long I can remain conscious. G‘night all.

Texreader Yea that‘s a good sad movie. Haven‘t thought about that one in a long time. 7y

LibrarianRyan Love this movie!!! 7y

robinb I love this movie too!!! Visually it is stunning! 7y

TricksyTails I love the movie so much. It holds a special place in my heart. I've heard they might do a reboot with Jason Momoa. Nothing against him, but I really hope that doesn't happen. 7y

JazzFeathers I read The Crow when it first came out and LOVED it. The film is also good, but the graphic novel is much better, in my opinion 7y

The Amityville Horror - Jay Anson
The Crow - 🖤 James O‘Barr
We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson
Dark Places - Gillian Flynn
Survivor - Chuck Palahniuk

so-so

Painfully earnest, darkly poetic. The apex of all goth mainstays: pale skin, spiky hair, self-mutilation, joy division lyrics and a romantic view of death. Ultimately a revenge tale, told in a fractured, multi-art-style way.

I have discovered a love for graphic novels over the last couple years. Before 2015, I had read exactly one graphic novel. This one. Clear back in the 90s, because I loved the movie so much. I wish I hadn't stopped reading them for 20+ years because I really loved this one. But at least I'm reading them all the time now, right?! #graphicnovel #octphotochallenge
