Comic Cuts - Upcoming Books

More upcoming comic books. I've not covered Classical Comics before so I've included a couple of titles already in print. I have to say that the adaptation of Jane Eyre looks like John M. Burns at his best and, if you buy nothing else, give that one a try to persuade the company to let him loose on more adaptations.

  1. These adaptations look great Steve! Always a sucker for these kind of titles. Have been on a Dracula buzz lately too - re-read the book and watched numerous films (good, bad and VERY bad!), so this title is a must for me.

    Thanks for the tip off!

    Love the blog by the way.
