Redwall Graphic Novel Is A Perfect Refresher For The Netflix Series
In light of Netflix's plans to create an original RedwallTV series and film, the 2007 graphic novel adaptation of the first book is the perfect way for new fans to dive into the amazing world of Redwall and for older fans to refresh their memories. The Redwall series by author Brian Jacques remains one of the most iconic children's fantasy tales to ever be told, spanning more than 20 novels since 1986. The black and white graphic novel adaptation of Redwall is a gorgeous introduction to the series, and is an ideal nostalgia hit for anyone who grew up in the '90s obsessed with the adventures of the creatures within Redwall Abbey.
Redwall follows a large group of anthropomorphic animals that live within Redwall Abbey and the surrounding Mossflower Wood, mainly featuring characters that are mice, badgers, rabbits, and moles. Much of tension and adventure that appears within the books come when the typically peaceful and loving residents of Mossflower are forced to become warriors to defend their kingdom and loved ones from the evil forces of the world's «vermin» creatures, the terrible rats, foxes, and weasels. First published in 1986 by Jacques, Redwall features the young novice monk Matthias as he searches for a legendary shield and sword created by the great Martin the Warrior, while helping the Abbey fight back against the truly evil one-eyed rat Cluny the Scourge.
