Praise for "The Golden Compass Graphic Novel, vol. 1: "
The story s signature fantasies the daemons, the armored mercenary polar bears, and the alethiometer are realized with compelling force (and, in the case of the daemons, humor). [This] retelling will bring Pullman s work new fans and give previous readers new pleasure. "Publishers Weekly, " Starred
Whether this is a reader s first experience with the tale or they are already familiar with the story, they should be delighted by this rendition. "School Library Journal"
The small and detailed but very clear panels are full of expressive faces, discernible action, and moody shadowing. Readers familiar with Pullman s novel will appreciate this artistic adaptation, as will readers who simply prefer graphic novels to prose. "Booklist""
