Seven Stories continues its "Graphic Canon" anthology series, this time taking a deep dive into the rich and diverse world of crime fiction. Featuring adaptations of famous crime classics, most of which were created specifically for this volume, this work displays a range of absolutely stunning talent. From a relatively straightforward depiction of the murder scene in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment to a wildly experimental take on Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, editor Kick (The Graphic Canon of Children's Literature) presents a fantastic survey of the literature concerned with criminal activity, as well as a primer on everything possible in the graphic format. Kick organizes these radical visions and interpretations in three thematic sections: "The Act," which focuses on depictions of crime; "Whodunnit," which details mysteries and famous detectives; and "Judgment," which deals with fallout and punishment and highlights parallels among stories written centuries apart. VERDICT Most of the 30 selections here adapt single chapters or scenes from their source material, which might cause some consternation among readers looking for a more immersive experience. But as an introduction to the crime genre, this edition is second to none.--TB
