“Jenny Finn” was a very strange story. It certainly has a great deal of the hallmarks of a Lovecraftian tale, yet it was penned by Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey. This edition of mine was colored by Dave Stewart.
The story begins with a not terribly bright dockworker named Joe. Joe spots a young looking girl walking around the area and decides to accost her to warn her away from the rough area. He meets Jenny Finn who is not at all what she seems. From here a strange story develops of a murderer and his connection to this mysterious girl.
Yet the girl is also very strange and bizarre monster hybrids are appearing in her wake. This all leads to Joe getting involved in a mystery that could portend doom for London. More than that I shall not spoil. It is a very odd story and deserves to be read. It is a very strange and unnerving story. The artwork, which is quite good for the first three chapters but drops off for chapter 4, conveys none of the people in a flattering form. Everybody is a bit “off” and look like the detritus of the human race, half-corrupted already before Jenny Finn’s coming. The dark back alleys of Victorian London are grim places, made even stranger by Mignola’s strange tale.
Thus enjoy this one for the horror, the art and the strange tale of “Jenny Finn”. I rather liked it and I think so will any Mignola fan. If you also have a desire for a Lovecraftian motif, then this is for you.
