The Mind of James Svengal - Jordan Sam Adams (historia), Lyndon White (artista) (3🌟)

The Mind of James Svengal is a graphic novel about post traumatic depression and drug use.

This is a short, easy to read and entertaining story. It follows an artist, James Svengal, who is suffering of depression after running over a drunk girl. James is tormented by his guilt. He slowly descends in a deep hole out of reach of his girlfriend and friends. He attends therapy sessions but it doesn’t help. One day he gets LSD pills and decides to take them. The drugs only worsen his depression as he starts having confusing nightmares.

Art: it was a bit confusing at the beginning until i got used to it. It certainly helped with creating an atmosphere around a perturbed man. See below.

I bought my book from Lyndon White at the London Comic Con in October 2018.

The Mind of James Svengal es una novela grafica que toca temas de depression post traumatica y uso de drogas.

Esta es una historia corta, sencilla que me entretuvo. Sigue a un artista, James Svengal, que esta atravezando por una depression despues de haber atropellado a una joven borracha. James se siente culpable por el accidente y vive atormentado, descendiendo lentamente en un pozo profundo de donde ni su novia lo puede sacar. Va a un psicologo, pero no es mucha ayuda. Un dia se hace con un frasco de pildoras de LSD, y buscando alivio de sus preocupaciones empieza a tomarlas. Las pastillas solo lo hunden mas en un mundo de pesadillas.

El arte me pareció a veces confuso pero adecuado para una temática asi.


Mi edicion es en paperback que le compre a Lydon White en el Comic Con de Londres Octubre 2018.
