Just received a review copy of Classics Illustrated: The Raven and other Poems from the folks at Papercutz.
Their successful revival of the Classics Illustrated series continues with this collection of Edgar Allan Poe's masterpiece, "The Raven," and other poems including, "Eldorado," "Annabel Lee," "The City in the Sea," "The Sleeper, " "The Haunted Palace," and "The Conqueror Worm" as interpreted by Gahan Wilson, the hilarious and insightful cartoonist for The New Yorker.
Wilson's style is perfectly suited to Poe's turn of phrase, as his artwork moves across the page with the cadence established by the words. But don't take my word for it. At $9.95 this modern classic is a bargain -- so order two copies and donate one to your local library!
That looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't seen that one over here yet, but Classics Illustrated are being republished. This is a definate for my list!
