    Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery TPB (2017-2021 Seven Stories Press) 1-1ST

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "From Sherlock Holmes to A Clockwork Orange to Jo Nesbø!"

    Edited by by Russ Kick.

    The first of two volumes builds on the brilliant and original Graphic Canon series in retelling classic works of literature as comics and other visual forms.

    Organized thematically, Volume 1 opens with "The Act" (think In Cold Blood and A Clockwork Orange), followed by sections dedicated to "Criminals," Whodunit," "Judgment" (Scarlet Letter, anyone?), and "Punishment." Here you'll find stunning and suspenseful adaptations starring Sherlock Holmes, Auguste Dupin, Hercule Poirot, Father Brown, Mike Hammer, and teenage girl-detective Violet Strange.

    The artists also bring to life crime stories from the Arabian Nights, The Bible, The Canterbury Tales, China's Song Dynasty, Shakespeare, James Joyce's Dubliners, Patricia Highsmith, Truman Capote, and current writers like Stephen King, Jo Nesbo, and Sara Paretsky.

    Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 10 1/2-in., 342 pages, PC/PB&W.

    Cover price $29.95.

    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.

    Cover price $29.95.
