Volume 2 - 1st printing. "From Pride and Prejudice to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!" Volume 2 of The Graphic Canon delivers a 19th-century cornucopia that includes Maxon Crumb and Gris Grimly's versions of Poe's visions, Eisner Award-winning artist Bill Sienkiewicz's take on Moby-Dick, and, for the first time, a selection from Huckleberry Finn exactly as Twain wrote it. The bad boys of Romanticism - Shelley, Keats, and Byron - are here along with the Brontë sisters, Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra and Darwin's On the Origin of Species. Frankenstein joins Thoreau's Walden and two of Emily Dickinson's greatest poems. Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 448 pages, full color. Cover price $34.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "From Salome to Edgar Allan Poe to Silence of the Lambs!"

Edited by by Russ Kick.

Here are Teddy Goldenberg's dense, murky treatment of Dashiell Hammett's "The Road Home," often considered the first hard-boiled detective story ever published. Shawn Cheng renders the first serial-killer story, the so-called fairy tale "Bluebeard" by Charles Perrault. Landis Blair reimagines The Trial as a choose-your-own-adventure story that you cannot win. Plus twenty-three other contributors using a wide range of illustrative styles.

Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 10 1/2-in., 352 pages, PC/PB&W.
