Review Request: Detektif Hantu

Posted by Calv_K

Review Requested by Kael!


>Title: Detektif Hantu
>Price: RM7.00
>Created by: Totoro
>Cover Page by: Totoro
>Published by: Gala Unggul Resources Sdn Bhd, 2002
>Main characters: Detektif Hantu
>Main language: Bahasa Malaysia

A classic comic created by Totoro. It is centered around horror and action that surrounds the main character in this book. Detektif Hantu who seeks power from Jin Buana Hitam to find the demon that killed his wife and son, Meen. As the story goes, more unexpected plot unfold. Can Detektif Hantu stop himself from being consume by his inner demon and keep his sanity? Read it to find out.



One of the first things that readers can expect to find is Totoro's very unique stroke. It really brings out the atmosphere in this comic: creepy. There is a degree of goriness that will be appreciate by action pack lovers too. His sense of horror is so good that it manage to make us believe that such world really existed. The panelling for this comic works well despite it being cluttered at time. It is understandable as there is so many details to fill that Totoro managed to clean it up.

The background and effects created was great and really adds more feeling to readers as it fits the whole genre of the graphic novel. Looking all the characters' design, all of it is actually memorable with special features of their own. The character development is obvious as more of Detektif Hantu is being reveal as the chapters went on. The storyline for this comic was greatly structured as it slowly unfolds all events for readers to read.



Good news is that there is not many bad part in this graphic novel. The normal too little pages per chapter still there. If the amount of pages could increased, it will make this comic a great one to read. One of the most irritating part is that the last chapter fighting scene is too short. One would expect an awesome showdown when it comes to the final fight but sadly it doesn't really happen here.


A great comic, great artwork, great storyline. What is there to say? This is a must to have and once you got it, wrap it up nicely! One of the best horror comic that was ever created! It's amazing how Totoro can fully capture and combine all elements in this comic to make it that great. Get ready to be horrified and read it again and again!

Pros: Unique stroke, great character development, great effects and background, memorable character design, organized storyline.
Cons: Too few pages in a chapter, short final fight scene.

Rating: 9/10
