The Last Temptation, by Neil Gaiman, is a creepy thing to read, and probably, the creepiest and funniest at the same time would be the introduction. Neil Gaiman shows, once again that he can write both prose and dialogue for graphic novels.
He always refers to himself as “The Writer” in the introduction. He mentions that Alice Cooper wanted a “concept album” on 1994. So, both Gaiman and Cooper started working on it and thus came out both The Last Temptation CD and The Last Temptation Graphic Novel, which is a nice complement for the CD.
As I read the graphic novel first, I couldn’t help but realize how some of the wording in the story would sound off like lyrics, so, after hearing the CD, I understood that I was right. These two should definitely go together and I am happy to report I got them both!
Being a “normal” teenager in the U.S. is never easy, or so it seems. Who wouldn’t want to join a circus? Or have fun in a new way after all your “friends” turned your back on you, mock you and make you unhappy? You’re in a shitty town, where no one cares and here is the right place, and the right moment for The Last Temptation to occur.
Go on, hear it, read it…it’s pretty interesting!
