The graphic novel „The Many Lives of Charlie“ by Kid Toussaint and Aurélie Guareno follows Charlie, an employee at the Eternal Recycle - a company that transforms the remains of loved ones after they have died into objects. One day confronted with the question of what happens to the soul after death, he is catapulted into an exciting adventure that will turn his life upside down. The illustrations by Aurélie Guareno were absolutely stunning! I especially loved the expressive use of color to convey different emotions. The panels always felt exciting and I was quickly engaged in the story. The dystopian setting and wild imagination of the author were a great combination and often surprised me. I have to admit that not everything in this graphic novel felt coherent but I was entertained from start to finish. I felt for the main character and wanted him to succeed in his mission. I loved the message and the way abstract concepts were portrayed. Overall this was a great adventure with interesting concepts and I would recommend to give it a try. A big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Europe Comics for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
