Posting Live from New York, I'm pleased to share this video preview of The Graphic Canon Volume 2, an illustrious comics anthology featuring the greatest authors of the past adapted by the greatest cartoonists of the present... and me! Images from my version of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's The Mortal Immortal appear somewhere at the one minute and twenty second mark, and you're going to love everything that preceeds and follows it. My interpretation of Somerset Maugham's Rain comes next year in volume three, but don't wait til' then... stop by
The Graphic Canon's website for more information about how and where to get it today. You won't regret it!
And just a friendly reminder, Eureka's wonderful anthology, African-American Classics is available for holiday purchasing. One of the most beautiful projects I've ever been involved in, I highly recommend it to readers of all ages. Visit
the Graphic Classics site for more details about this and other marvelous volumes in the series, including the new Halloween Classics!
I'll leave you with another look at Shalmanezer, a story I enjoyed adapting for African-American Classics... if you haven't bought your copy yet, please do... you're gonna flip!
Watch this space for upcoming treats! No tricks, I promise!
All my best, Lance Tooks
