From School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-Eisner's Moby Dick is simplistic, the whalebone without the whale. Melville's subtleties sink under the comic-book format, and while the cartoonist does a creditable job of conveying the basic story of Ishmael, Queequeg, and Ahab, drama is inevitably sacrificed. Because of the way the panels are divided, it is difficult to know which one to read next, resulting in some confusion about plot sequence. That said, Eisner's cartoons are charged with atmosphere, their sea tones and moody contrasts well suited to their subject. While younger readers may stumble over some of the sentence structure ("Who first sights him shall have this gold!"), the book may appeal to comic-book fans and reluctant readers.

From Publishers Weekly
Comic book aficionados will appreciate master Will Eisner's latest adaptation, Moby Dick. It may not begin, "Call me Ishmael," but the story otherwise remains true to Herman Melville's classic, with Queequeg, Ahab and the great white whale all making their entrances on cue. The cartoon panels that chronicle the final showdown between the captain and the giant fish are particularly spectacular.
