“Alcott is best remembered for Little Women, but she also wrote florid
gothic tales. Somewhat sappy by modern tastes, her work gains verve
through these lively, full-color renderings. Certainly in Trina Robbins’ skillful
version, Little Women’s pretty Jo March comes through as a modern gal ahead
of her time. Of the gothics, the standout is “A Whisper in the Dark.” Here,
Arnold Arre’s art shines with style and coloring.”
