"Estella is a clever and creative grifter determined to make a name for herself with her designs amid the 1970s London punk rock revolution. As a girl, Estella befriended a pair of young thieves with an appetite for mischief, and together the trio has been able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. But Estella longs for more than an existence built on stealing to make ends meet. One day, Estella's flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness Von Hellman, a design legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable, and revenge-bent Cruella." --Page 4 of cover.… (más)
Confusingly, this is called an adaptation of the 2021 Cruella movie on the back cover and a prequel in some of the online marketing, but what this really is is a previously untold side story set during the ten-year or so time jump that occurs about fifteen minutes into the film. The story begins with Estella Miller as a 19-year-old well into her life of street crime with Jasper and Horace as she doodles out her fashion ideas in their hideaway. With her black-and-white hair dyed red because she despises the hues black and white due to her childhood trauma, Estella sets out on the streets of 1970s London for three short adventures. In "Black" she gains a new appreciation for black as she dips her toe in the punk scene. In "White" she gets involved with an unimaginative designer named Emilia who works only in white because she doesn't understand the "art" of fashion. And in the four-page "Red" Estella acknowledges the value of a pop of color when working in black-and-white.
It's all told in the emo, angsty, campy tone of the movie, but it really doesn't work without Emma Stone chewing the scenery.
Based on other comics that use the "Black, White, and Red" sub-title you might expect some spots of color in the course of the book, but it is printed solely in black-and-white with gray standing in for red.
Also, it is called a manga, but it reads from left to right like regular English comics. Despite the Japanese creator, I also think this was commissioned and first published in English and is not an actual Japanese import. ( )

I can clearly recall . . . That brilliant black.
London in summer. And . . . Me at 19 years old.
What? You guys have a problem?

What? You want me to add red to this? Hmm. All right. But, just a little. It will be like a topping, an extra pop . . . to make the black and white stand out even more.
