Science Fiction Classics

June 1, 2009
Grades 9-12 What better way to satisfy fans of both classic science fiction and comics than by retelling a handful of the early masters storiesin graphic form? This volume in the Graphic Classics series starts with H. G. Wells The War of the Worlds, which for many might seem a bit tame compared to todays standards, but the dark and moody drawings add a new level of creepiness. Indeed, the art in this book helps lift the old storiesfrom Jules Verne and Arthur Conan Doyle, among othersand rockets them to new levels. A great addition for all science-fiction and graphic-novel collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
