okay, here's an odd question for you all: if you could adapt any classical literature into a comic - no matter how indirectly (ie: 'the further adventures') - which would you chose? What would be your premise?

"All quiet on the Western Front" could work quite well.
For you English blokes, John Fowles' "A Maggot" could have some interesting visuals with the cave

Douglas Adams "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" is one book I've always thought would be great as a comic.

'Ethel the Aardvark goes Quantity Surveying' or 'Don Quixote'
Quixote's just been done, hasn't it?
Don't think it's shipped yet though.

New one on me Phil. Shows how much notice I take on whats new and readable out there. I was talking to Allan about this this morning and somhow came to the conclusion that Don Quixote is of the same premise as Batman and Robin. One loopy geezer and a sidekick to keep him honest :-)

DC did a Hithchhiker's Guide, and a Restaurant at the End of the Universe in the 90's. They could've made a great comic, but they didn't :roll: - you had to know the books real well to follow them, imho - luckily, I did. :o
I once wrote a Batman / Phantom of the Opera Amalgam - right before DC published one. Mine was better, of course. :wink:

Another one Allan and I have discussed is 'A Clockwork Orange'. It wasn't until I read the books intro last night, that I found out Kubrick didn't use the last chapter of the book in the film. We've had a depiction of a totalitarian state in 'V for Vendetta', but the world in which Alex lives although not as stringent as V's world, would still make for an interesting comic IMHO.

Ohhhhh, that woud be soooo good! That would have to be an adult only comic though...one I know I'd keep between my matress and box spring!

I don't read alot of the classical stuff, but how about Max Barry's "Jennifer Government", it could be quite a funny adventure comic.

How 'bout Lord Of The Rings? It's been done, but well? I don't know.
Or Harry Potter, for that matter?
The Portrait of Dorian Grey? Has The Tempest been done?
