\"The<\/a>
\n The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch<\/a> by Neil Gaiman<\/a>
\n My rating: 3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

Adaptation of a bit of atmospheric trifle by Gaiman, abetted (though not as well as he could be) by Michael Zulli on the art. A Felliniesque “Twilight Zone” episode (albeit for premium cable), it’s pretty enough and moody enough to enjoy, but probably not for $14 in hardcover.<\/p>\n

Recommended (second-hand) to fans of Gaiman and urban fantasy.
\n
(Postscript: Upon a bit of consideration, this may be one of those Gaiman tales that lends itself less well to visualization in a graphic novel, vs. in one’s head.)<\/p>\n
