When James O\'Barr poured the pain and anguish of a personal tragedy into the drawings that comprise The Crow, his intensely cathartic story of Eric - who returns from the dead to avenge his and his fiancŽe\'s murder at the hands of a street gang - resonated with readers around the world. Now, the illustrated tale that became a screen triumph is re-released in an expanded version the author originally intended, complete at last with 30 pages of never-before-seen artwork, including a new closing segment, \'Sparklehorse,\' and the touching new scene, \'An August Noel.\'\"(W/A/CA) James O\'Barr
