sacrilegious i know but on the upside it is making classics available to a certain type of audience who would have otherwise completely missed out. So relax. I won't be reading them (well who knows, if one comes across my way i might give in to curiosity) but I feel no need to deprive others. I think a jane austen comic woud acutally be a perfect gift for my younger brother who had no interest in reading 'stuffy victorian romances'.

A Pride and Prejudice comic book would be total perfection. I love, love, love, love the idea. I will be keeping an eye on this thread with keen interest.

Well people as a comic book fantatic for well over 50 years it's time to weigh in. Issue 2 of 5 has been published and I have thoroughly enjoyed the artwork and adaptation. I have ONE serious complaint however. The covers are designed as if they are an 19th century version of Cosmoplitan and is the only blemish on the project. The adaptor is Nancy Butler who pays attention to the details and tries her best to put in as much as she can into each issue of Austen's novel. I salute Marvel for having the courage to take a chance on this project. It actually finally got me off my duff to where I have in the last four days been READING the novel online here (finished yesterday) and I am anxiously awaiting issue 3 now. I fully recommend this to anyone. NOW-don't get me started on the dreadful Captain Blood adaptation that just got released.
