WHA!!! I still want to read more of these. I am currently reading the Oz ones which I love after I get caught up on those I will continue down the road of more classics in graphic novel form!

I can't say the artwork would endear me to this one in particular (I can be picky about that with manga, and it's hard for me to get into if I don't love the art) but I might go see if my library has any of these!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-74524822157290643802013-09-24T19:04:11.759-06:002013-09-24T19:04:11.759-06:00Love the covers.

It just doesn't translate well, and the visual design doesn't match the source.<br /><br />The covers, though, are great! 100% agreed. They send a bit of a mixed message, giving the impression this will be some kind of post-modern transcription of the book. But hey: misleading comics covers? Someone call Ripley's Believe It Or Not...<br /><br />Reading all of Marvel's efforts for the Classics is a cool project. I don't think I've read any others, actually, so it'll be good to have a road map, once you make your way through them.B McMolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706178983936146307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-59962185842964111102013-08-11T20:28:37.409-06:002013-08-11T20:28:37.409-06:00I like the idea, but maybe they're just choosi...I like the idea, but maybe they're just choosing the wrong titles.

But it is great that they are doing comics of the classics, it's too bad this didn't hit the mark for you. The sisters in the last panel do look a little too modern and glamorous and that would take me out of the story!The HoneyNerdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871290381116725861noreply@blogger.com
