"A
well-designed and engaging adaption." - KIRKUS
Everyone has heard the whispered
tales of the phantom who lives beneath the opera house, the mysterious trickster
behind all the little mishaps and lost things. But no one has ever seen the
monster . . . until now. When the promise of blossoming love lures him out from
his intricately constructed hideaways in the labyrinthine building's walls
and cellars, a hideously disfigured artist trains the lovely Christine to be the
opera's next star for a steep price. Does she choose her newfound success
or her beloved Count Raoul? This doomed love triangle threatens to combust when
a tragic death, a series of betrayals, and increasingly dangerous accidents cast
the players of The Palais Garnier into a heart-wrenching horror story that will
echo through the ages.
THE PHANTOM
OF THE OPERA, the iconic gothic romance, is retold with all the spectacle its
legend demands in this devoted graphic novel adaptation that marries stunning
artwork with Gaston Leroux's haunting prose.
