Sundiata: A Legend of Africa

(4) K-3 Narrated by the Gray Rock of Evil, this African folktale pits Sumanguru, king of Sasso, against Sundiata, the lame prince of Mali. Ultimately, Sundiata grows into a respected warrior who defeats his nemesis and reigns over his homeland as its much-loved king. This graphic novel is engaging, but Eisner uses a bland palette, and some of the characters' faces and expressions seem crudely exaggerated.
