Volume 2: From "Kubla Khan" to the Brontë Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray last edited by fables87 on 09/20/22 06:33AM View full history

    Volume 2 of The Graphic Canon delivers a 19th-century cornucopia that includes Maxon Crumb and Gris Grimly's versions of Poe's visions, Eisner Award-winning artist Bill Sienkiewicz's take on Moby-Dick, and, for the first time, a selection from Huckleberry Finn exactly as Twain wrote it.

Frankenstein joins Thoreau's Walden and two of Emily Dickinson's greatest poems.

Some of the artwork is great - this is a fine showcase of a number of up-and-coming artists who may make it big for all the right reasons.
