Apollo reviewed The Communist Manifesto by Martin Rowson
A Visually Dense Comic Adaptation
3 stars
I've had this comic adaptation of The Communist Manifesto in my collection for years but couldn't get into the right mood to read it before now. I love comics and particularly enjoy adaptations, but Rowson's art has a denseness and muddled approach that distracted more than enhanced the text for me. I wanted to wholeheartedly enjoy this book, but I don't think I could recommend it either as an introduction to Marx or as a treat for those of us who admire his work.
