61 pgs. and $6.95

If you’re fast, you can get this collection of adaptations of short works by Poe, Bierce, Lord Dunsany, Conan Doyle, and Mary Shelley for free! If your local comic book shop participates in Free Comic Book Day in May, this jewel is yours!

If you don’t have a local comics shop, or one that participates, Special Edition will be available at a later date from the publisher and selected outlets.

Free or not, it is worth your effort to find a copy of this “sampler” of other Graphic Classics collections. Most of the adaptations are of horror short stories, and even Mary Shelley’s gothic romance is at least historically interesting. Most of the art is reality-based and better than interesting.

This collection is recommended.
