Used to have this in paperback. Classic, amazing, and for those who have seen the movie, but NOT yet read this masterpeice, warning! *almost spoiler alert* it is NOT the same as the movie, it's WAY better! (Hey, I'm not knocking it, the movie, of course, is really amazing, and captured the 'essence' and the 'feel', and still is an absolutely astounding cinemagraphic embodyment. BUT, the 'source' material, is even bigger, with different origin of Eric, and a few extra insights into both Eric's charachter, and the 'bad guys' and if you loved the movie, you will definately enjoy this, and most likely, appreciate the film even more. I've had the rare pleasure of meeting James O'Barr himself, in a casual, personal setting, and he is a truly passionate artist, and a wellspoken, inspiring person to talk to. There is SO much colorfully emotive style to not just see, but FEEL as you read it, and it's done with his use of JUST black and white, that every page in The Crow expresses.

I watched the 1994 movie The Crow and always wanted to read the comic that it was based on. I enjoyed this as Eric does his investigating and his quest for revenge. Must read. Warning: blood, violence, and sexual situations.
