George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead Just a Girl One-Shot Review'Night of the Living Dead: Just a Girl' is a one shot graphic novel featuring a story by 'Night of the Living Dead' co-write John A.Russo.
The artwork and the dialogue are both first rate, but the major problem with this piece is Russo's story and his complete retcon of the characters of Harry and Helen Cooper. Here Harry is presented as a completely hostile madman who runs an unsuccessful dry cleaning business(??!!). Although his profession was never specified in the original story, I think that it was clear that he was a very low level businessman or salesman. Quite frankly, Cooper, as he is present here, is certainly not someone who would be working with the wider public due to his irrational and hostile manner.
Helen Cooper is presented as a weakling, in total conflict with her assertive personality in the original film.
Karen Cooper is shown as an abandoned child taken from the orphanage (??!!) by the Coopers, so that Harry can have someone to work for him for free at his dry cleaners (??!!).
The narrative presents Karen's attack on her parents (when she turns into a ghoul) as a revenge story, when it has long been established that Ghouls are operating on instinct and the desire for warm flesh, not out of a desire to settle a grudge.
In the original film, Harry Cooper is presented as a difficult man who is essentially a control freak with an attitude problem, but a man who also loved and was worried about his injured daughter. He was a man who was cowardly and petty in the worst of situations, but he bears little resemblance to the amoral, hate filled lunatic charactiture that is presented in these pages.
Helen's portrayal as a week willed mouse terrified of Harry's mood swings is also a total contradiction.
The 1990 'Night of the Living Dead' remake also featured a hostile, cartoon Cooper which was all the more surprising given that it was scripted by George A. Romero himself.
As with his wrong headed novels, cinematic atrocities such as the 30th Anniversary edition of 'Night of the Living Dead' (which featured an over 60 year old William Hinzman reprising his role of the 30 year old graveyard ghoul in footage newly filmed by Russo) and the totally incoherent 'Children of The Living Dead', Russo, once again, proves that he incapable or unwilling to write anything that makes sense or possesses artistic merit.
The graphic novel would have been more interesting had the characters not been the Coopers, but some generic dysfunctional family.
The story itself is fairly solid, but the re-imaging of NOTLD characters ruins it.
