In 1989, James O'Barr's graphic novel The Crow was first published. O'Barr created the story of love, violent loss and supernatural revenge to ease the pain of his own personal tragedy. The novel went on to become the best-selling black and white graphic novel of all time and inspired sequels in books, comics and on television. In 1994 the film adaptation of the novel was released. The theatrical re-telling of the haunting events on Devil's Night in Detriot became an instant cult classic. The love story of Eric and Shelly lives on to this day. Welcome to... The Crow
