    EVEN RAYMOND CHANDLER WOULD BE IMPRESSED
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018*

Vaughan & Martin's THE PRIVATE EYE is a future noir mystery.  I made my purchase based upon a 'reminiscent of' comment someone made online about another book I'd bought.  I'm glad I put my doubts behind me and pressed the purchase button on Amazon.  THE PRIVATE EYE is a tour de force effort, the creative contributions are solid in every corner: writing & dialogue, art & coloring; even the lettering is topnotch.  Who notices lettering?  It's supposed to be as invisible as movie edits, but it's sublimely expressive and unobtrusive, especially when the French characters and, in some cases, when DeGuerre speak.  The logos all over the backgrounds and the faux Marlboro pack neatly anchor the tale in reality even though the events take place in 2076.The story and art are the obvious stars of this show---a parallel could be drawn to Led Zeppelin's Page and Plant's front men strengths with a stellar Bonham/Jones rhythm section assuring a nimble, equally talented back line rear guard.  I can't assign enough superlatives to all aspects of THE PRIVATE EYE's tour de force creative/production team: quirky characterizations sidestep stereotypes, an uncompromising gritty storyline is offset with melancholy and humor, edgy artwork (especially set dressing like cars, costumes, architecture and a rocket), as well as the aforementioned coloring and lettering.  I read THE PRIVATE EYE cover-to-cover twice to get the full impact because even the minor characters tell their own brief tales of woe on the  sidelines of the crowd scenes.  The book is saturated with brilliance, a breath of rarefied air.  I found the behind the scenes pre-production notes an unexpected treat, devouring them with the same hunger as the main course.In all honesty I didn't expect a graphic novel to be THIS good, a new and lofty high watermark has been set.  Even Raymond Chandler would have to acknowledge being impressed, and he had a bad reputation of being most unkind to his contemporaries and competitors.  Hats off to all involved in THE PRIVATE EYE.  If a movie was filmed using the book as storyboards I doubt any cinema crew on the planet could top it.My only complaint is I found the rectangular hardback extremely difficult to read unless placed on a flat surface. The pages have a tendency to stick together (not sticky but static electricity) and often took as long as 15 to 20 seconds to prize apart when I wanted anxiously to turn the page, mildly irritating but ultimately insignificant.

    Underrated gem from one of the comic word's best talents
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018*

The Private Eye is a great story from one of the mediums best storytellers.You should go into this book as blind as you can but I'll tell you this; it's an incredibly unique (and honestly not all that fantastical) glimpse into the future. There are some "cyberpunk" elements, but it feels wholly original.The long horizontal shape of the book can be a minor annoyance, but for the most part it works to supplement the uniqueness of the tale within its pages. Highly recommended.

    Masks!
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021*

What an incredible story! I recently purchased this title again after someone stole my previous copy and what an amazing time I had reading it! The art, the writing and how appropriate it is when we currently live in a world where you go outside wearing a mask!
