I give you the Graphic Novel Adaptation of the 9/11 Commission Report

http://www.slate.com/features/911report/

They should do this with other reports, documents, books etc.

I demand Hurricane Katrina adaptation.

Ooh oh, how about the Warren Commission adaptation. They would have to dedicate 10 pages to "back and to the left"

11M, the bombing on the Madrid metro system.

Oh, and a Latino flavored Watergate Scandal graphic novel would be cool to read.

Marvel made a graphic novel of the Last of the Mohicans, and are currently doing one for Home'rs the Iliad. I want to pick those up sometime.

I vote for the Epic of Gilgamesh.

I vote for the Epic of Gilgamesh.

That would be badass.

That book by Xenophon would probably be good, too.

What's it called...the Aneid or something like that?

Impressive work by the 9/11 Commission artists.

Good God that's atrocious.

The Aeneid was written by Virgil as propaganda for Augustus.

That's awesome.

yes---i agree.

this is a great public service.

I propose that all major US government commission reports be done in graphic novel form - and published ASAP.

That would be badass.

Anabasis

I think James Joyce's Finnegans Wake should be adopted into a graphic novel. I may actually understand it, then.

Here's an English translation of that Stalin vs. Hitler comic. You can also access the original Russian version from this site.

I love this.

I think I´ve heard a jig of the same name and, boy, I love that song. So if it´s about the same thing, I would love seeing a graphic novel on the subject.

Doom needs a graphic novel adaption. By the same guys who did the comic. Imagine, 500 pages of "RIP AND TEAR".

They do... well at least for Shakespear..... (trying to find it now.)

All Finnegans Wake has in common with the song "Finnegan's Wake" is the name.

Got it!

The authors name is Adam Sexton. I just googled his name with the word "manga." Plus, would it kill you just to read some plain text Elizabethan English?

I think the title comes from the jig, but there the similarity ends. The novel is famous for being incredibly difficult to read and understand, as witnessed by the first paragraph:
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
Howth Castle and Environs.
The last sentence of the book is the beginning of the first, making the book cyclical. It has something to do with a Medieval Italian's theory of history, I think.
