Graphic Classics Volume 1: Edgar Allan Poe - 2nd Edition (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels))4 reviews
Edgar Allan Poe, Rick Geary, ...

Eureka Productions, 2004

Gothic comics - An outstanding blend of words and pictures
Edgar Allan Poe is a natural choice as the first volume of the Graphic Classics volumes, a series partially inspired by the Classic Illustrated collection of comic books, which attempted to lure young readers into reading respectable, "classic" authors through the comics medium. This new incarnation, however, takes an entirely different tact, combining fantastic literary stories with equally ...

"There was a feller here once, by the name of..."
Mark Twain is undoubtedly America's "Great Man of Letters." A complicated author, he flowed easily through humor, satire, psychological horror, politics, religion, and pretty much any other subject imaginable. He was able to hold up a dark mirror to society, and stare unflinchingly at the organizations, traditions, and political and moral decay that always threaten to drown a civilization. And he ...

Captain Blood and the Plague of Ghosts
I knew next to nothing about Rafael Sabatini before I picked up this latest volume of Graphic Classics. I always did love a good swashbuckler though, and I figured the creator of Captain Blood and Scaramouche was worth a look. Graphic Classics hasn't let me down yet, and this certainly won't be the last time they introduce me to a fantastic writer. Remembered primarily for the slate of ...

Eureka Productions, 2007

Lady vampires and bodies buried dark and deep
I am a big fan of the Graphic Classics series, and I am an even bigger fan of the anthologies, such as "Horror Classics" and "Adventure Classics". The anthologies give us a chance to read some great tales by authors who may not be prolific enough to rate their own individual books, but who have still made a powerful and influential contribution to literature. As expected, this latest ...

Here there be Monsters and Wizards
Tom Pomplun and the Graphic Classics team just keep getting better. This latest release is another anthology collection, bringing us some of the more obscure tales from famous authors like L. Frank Baum, as well as the grand slam home run of Mary Shelley. I love these anthology collections the best, for the chance to be introduced to some new authors as well as seeing adaptations of some of my ...

H. G. Wells, Dan O'Neill, ...

Eureka Productions, 2002

The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds
H.G. Wells wrote some amazing stories. There are so many classic tales it is easy to forget that they all come from the same talented man. Of course, he is one of the founders of Science Fiction, single-handily creating many of the sub-genres that can be found within its boarders. The alien invasion, the insane scientist who falls victim to his own experiment, the vision of a dark apocalyptic ...

Eureka Productions, 2004

All the old romance, retold
"Treasure Island" is probably the first thing that springs to mind from hearing the name Robert Louis Stevenson. "Kidnapped," "Black Arrow" and other classic tales of high adventure sprung from his pen, leading more than one child to desperately wish for a one-eyed Pirate to stroll into his life. But like his other famous creation, Dr. Jekyll, Stevenson had his darker face, and some tales not ...

Eureka Productions, 2004

Mummies, Murder and Monkey's Paws
Horror has done well for the modern incarnation of the Graphic Classics, whose series has seen such luminaries as Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft brought to life by some extremely talented cartoonists. Whether it is the short-story nature, or the ready-made visually splendid imagery, there is something in the classic horror tales thats makes them well suited to the Graphic ...

Eureka Productions, 2003

A worthy volume of illustrated adaptations
"Graphic Classics: Bram Stoker" serves up an excellent collection of illustrated stories by horror Grandmaster Bram Stoker. Each tale is either fully illustrated, comic book style, or text and page combined. All of the illustrations are in black and white, and feature a wide variety of styles and flair. This is definitely not the typical art you would find in a DC or Marvel comic, but is much ...

Tales of Love and High Adventure
Graphic Classics continues is incredible series of illustrated classics with "O Henry," an American short story author and the master of the twist ending. Almost everyone who has gone through the US school system has encountered O Henry at some point or other, most likely in "Gift of the Magi," but the remainder of his catalog is not as generally well-known. This volume, # 11 in the Graphic ...

A new edition, "Graphic Classics: Arthur Conan Doyle" is updated and revised, with five new stories adapted in the Graphic Classics style. As with the previous release, several different illustrators adapt and interpret some of Doyle's most famous stories and creations, as well as a few lesser known gems. This second edition is less Sherlock Holmes heavy, containing only two adaptations of ...

Eureka Productions, 2005

Ripping good stuff! Tales of pirates, desert sorceresses, lusty women and dangerous men
The mysterious desert. The high plains. The stormy seas. The dense jungles. These are the places where actions speak louder than words, where the sharp retort of a six-gun decides who is right and who is dead, and a blind tiger stalks with preternatural senses and determination. These are the settings for Adventure Tales, a genre of literature prominent in the 1900's, in which many of the ...

A 'must' for the legions of Lovecraft fans
H.P. Lovecraft was a reclusive and idiosyncratic New England writer whose horror fantasy stories were to influence generations of authors down to the present day. Now seven of his macabre tales have been illustrated by a series of skilled artists into the newly revised and enlarged second edition of the fourteen volume of the increasingly impressive Graphic Classics series from Eureka ...

Dinosaurs, Fairies and the Detective
Continuing their Graphics Classics series, "Graphic Classics: Arthur Conan Doyle" allows several different illustrators the chance to adapt and interpret some of Doyle's most famous stories and creations, as well as a few lesser known gems. Most of the stories here are longer than in other offerings in the Graphic Classics series, but all are well done and respectful to the source material. ...

Jack London, Peter Kuper, ...

Eureka Productions, 2003

Weird and Wild tales from an American master
Think of Jack London, and the image springs to mind of racing dog packs racing over icy Alaskan landscapes, fighting fang and fur in a primitive struggle for life. On the reading list of almost every American school system, "The Call of the Wild" is a classic of American literature. And there it stops. Aside from "The Call of the Wild," I was totally ignorant of Jack London's works. I never ...

Eureka Productions, 2003

Cowboy ghosts, the Devil's tongue, and Fables of a Cynic
Of all the Graphic Classics series that I have read, Ambrose Bierce is the author that I am least familiar with. I knew him as the author of "The Devil's Dictionary," and I knew the story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" although I did not know he was the author. In fact, I knew it mainly as an episode of "The Twilight Zone." With this in mind, it was one of the most exciting volumes to ...
