Rather than set off in a new direction or take too much inspiration from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Tomi opted for a straight, faithful adaptation using Leroux’s hauntingly beautiful text. He’s a devoted fan of the book and he has taken his job as the artist just as seriously, visiting Paris for in-person visual research and sketching. The result is a detailed historical graphic novel that puts you right in the Opera House while the mysteries and danger mount — just pray you’re not in the Phantom’s reserved seat!
