Your English Class Comes to the World of Comics
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There have been some amazing comic adaptations of classic novels, like Dracula, 1984 and To Kill a Mockingbird, over the years. Stories from some of history's most well-known novelists continue to stand the test of time because of how they use the literary space to create thoughtful commentary, characters and plots.
Richard Adams' masterpiece, Watership Down, has seen a variety of adaptations over the years, including a film that has been heralded as one of the best animations for adults. However, the novel is an incredibly complex read given the heavy symbolism and themes lying underneath a deceptively simple story of rabbits trying to find a new home.
Featuring an introduction by Bradbury himself, this faithful retelling of the story is brilliant because of how much it adds to the existing novel. The artwork is horrifying to look at, featuring vibrant reds and oranges to make the reader feel the heat coming off of these burnings. Plus, by showing specific books being burned in the artwork, the realities of why book burning and various forms of censorship are not just wrong but harmful for society and human progression are made clear.
6 The Hobbit Succeeds In Realizing Tolkien's Intentions for the Story Based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien; adapted by Charles Dixon and David Wenzel While Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books have become well-known over the years, his prequel to his epic fantasy The Hobbit has also stood the test of time.
1984 has come to be known as the defining dystopian novel in literature. George Orwell's use of literary language made it a haunting read when it was first published and continues to send chills down readers' spines today. Fido Nesti's adaptation of this story perfectly encapsulates the dread that makes this novel so terrifying while using the medium to their advantage.
