Woogee - The city of the angels - a graphic novel review


In the first part we get to know Woogee. He was taken by inspector Knickerbocker to keep him on the straight and narrow. He got Woogee a job at the a Hollywood filmstudio.
In this story in two parts Woogee meets the beautiful daughter of a gangster boss. If this gangster is eliminated by his rivals, the daughter is no longer sure of her life. Woogee feels obligated to take her to safety. This is not only dangerous for himself, but also for his friends.

I found the first part of Woogee great and this second story does not disappoint me either. Because this story is spread over two albums, there is more space for the development of the story. I always find that very nice. In the first part, we see how the film industry operates and how the mafia runs its business. We see that Woogee has received shelter from a successful scenario writer. It is a good start which develops further in the second album.
Just as you think the story becomes predictable, things seem different. Beniest has done a great job at writing this story.


André Beniest's drawings are very good. There are a lot of nice stereotypes in this comic strip. There is also room for some nice page filling illustrations.

Great album.
