This tells the tale of two brothers, betrayal and the unknown that lies beyond death. Margot’s Room also highlights another skill of Carroll’s: not only is it a tale of darkness and monsters, it also shows that sometimes people are the ones you should be most afraid of.Īnother one of her most famous (and best) comics is His Face All Red.
This poem on the first page gives you clues on where to look to read the different parts of the story, and then the comic continues to show Carroll’s vast creativity by taking you on a journey in a way that I’ve never seen a comic work before. It starts with a lone disturbing image and a single stanza of a poem. Perhaps Carroll’s most famous comic is the eminently ingenious Margot’s Room. These stories have a cold, harsh beauty to them that is reminiscent of a predator’s bared teeth in the moonlight. Carroll’s comics often tell old world style fairytales and legends, but rather than the uplifting and cute stories that we usually see (or even the “gritty” reboots that have become so popular), Carroll tells stories that seem primeval and deeply rooted in the earth. While she has a wide variety of fantastic and imaginative comics, her horror and folklorish comics are the ones that have really caught my eye. Em Carroll is a writer and illustrator from Canada who uses bold color contrasts, pointed illustrations and creepy writing to create an impenetrable fog of beauty and dread.
