Summary (HellBound Media): Gabriel Cushing stars in his first graphic novel adventure! The occult academic is called on to investigate the supernatural events that are occurring at the Palace Theatre as it prepares for an all new show. Soon he uncovers the murderous intentions of a Banshee, whose rage is directed at the cast, crew and audience.
Will Gabriel, and his friend Melanie Lancley, be able to stop the Banshee’s horrific assaults?
A fright at the opera was one of two HellBound novels I picked up at MCMGlasgow. It’s a different take on the standard banshee legend which I wasn’t entirely convinced about but it’s been handled well and fits with the location. The artwork on each page is black and white, I can’t help wishing it was colour pages which would have given some more depth to the characters expressions.
Overall a good short comic, more substance and some colour could make this great but its ideal if you are looking for a quick read.
