Cruella Deville tells her story about how she went from a young girl with hopes and dreams to the evil thing obsessed with turning puppies into fur coats.
A new take on Cruella’s background story, this one makes you feel sorry for her even while you want to drop kick a member of her family. The art, done in red tones, is totally engaging and beautifully rendered. I thought this telling of Cruella’s descent into darkness had heart (or the lack thereof) that made Cruella more three-dimensional. Add in a dysfunctional family, social classes and greed, and you have a great mix. Even though you know how Cruella turns out, the journey is worth it.
