"A graphic novel is a comic book on steroids," Jim Doherty
said. An excellent figure of speech and not that great a
hyperbole.
I remember picking up a whole stack of comics at a
second-hand book/magazine store when I was a kid. They were
called "Classic Comics" or "Classic Comic Books," I'm not
sure which, but they included such works as "Moby Dick"
and
"Les Miserable." These two I remember specifically, but there
many if not all of the others of the classics that were
full-length comics that were also taken from the classics of
World Literature.
Just a piece of trivia--Well, not so trivial--from the past.
It seems to me they would go over today. Beats the hell out
of Cliff Notes, although I doubt you'd get the detail.
