Cruella De Vil, professional jewel thief Emily Bezzler, and her henchmen hatched a plan to steal the crown jewels. Instead, they inadvertently kidnapped the royal dogs! Now the quartet of thieves are fleeing the crime scene with bags of hot jewels and a truck full of barking dogs.
The last issue of the Cruella De Vil series brings the silly story to a satisfying conclusion. Sweeney Boo wrote a zany series befitting Cruella’s desire for wealth, her love of fashion, and her dislike of dogs. Artist Miriana Puglia and colorist Ellie Wright similarly embraced the original Disney animated movie by giving Cruella’s features sharp angles and making her henchmen look like dim yutzes. It’s a fun entry in Dynamite’s Disney books.
