I'm not the _target audience, and these do not have universal appeal. Nonetheless, I'm impressed, and have no doubt that many readers (age 14 up) will give the book five stars.

A fantasy Halloween collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Alice Cooper about life, choices, and tempations. A bit too on-the-nose.

I had been familiar with the idea of concept albums, but I'd never read a graphic novel based off of one. I'm a ridiculous Neil Gaiman fan, and was impressed to see that he helped Alice Cooper with the concept of the album. This graphic novel is just the icing on the cake. He pulls off the dark theatre/dark carnival story very well, keeps the preaching to a minimum, and worked with a great artist. I would definitely recommend this one.

This has three and a half sections, all illustrated by Michael Zulli:

0) an introduction to the historiography of Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street;
1) the best bit, where Neil Gaiman and artist Dave McKean go looking for the original Temple Bar structure, then located in the grounds of Theobalds Park in Hertfordshire (since then, it has been moved back to London and reassembled near St Paul's Cathedral);
2) "Babycakes", a brief but effective polemic about animal testing;
3) "Holly's Story", text from a dream shared by Gaiman's then five-year-old daughter, which is about as coherent as you would expect (ie not very).

I don't think I'd have paid much money for a paper copy of this, and I don't think I paid much for the electronic copy either.
