cLASSIcS ILLUSTrATed deLUXe Graphic Novels#7 “Around the World in 80 days”by Jules VerneAdapted by Loïc dauvillierAude Soleilhac, artist.

From London to Calcutta to New York and Back!

Jules Verne’s adventure story about a wager to circumvent the globe in 80 days was so popular when it was fi rst published that it spawned several real-life copycats who tried to replicate the adventures of Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout. Artist Aude Soleilhac’s vibrant and detailed work captures the numerous people and places encountered in Verne’s epic tale, which still manages to elicit wonder and excitement in readers more than 125 years after it was fi rst published.

What they’ve said of our cLASSIcS ILLUSTrATed:

“Papercutz has set very high standards for its new [CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED] series.”

-Malcolm Jones, Newsweek

“Outstanding. Illustrated in a way to draw the student in.”-Library Media Connection

“Puts the play’s original language center stage as events unfold in the vividly detailed panels.”

-School Library Journal

mArKeTING• CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED is one of the most recognized names in comics. It has sold over 200 million copies of hundreds of titles of comicbook adaptations of stories by the World’s Greatest Authors.

• Comics are now widely recognized as an important gateway to reading, and the enjoyment of reading, for kids today otherwise distracted by audiovisual and electronic media of all kinds. Librarians champion the best among them, a trend now increasingly echoed by educators.

• Rave reviews in School Library Journal, Booklist, Kirkus.

#1

The island of Mata Nui was once a paradise – until the entity known as Makuta arrived, transforming it into a land of darkness and evil. The natives, called Tohunga, and their leaders, the Turaga, have waited and hoped for heroes who would conquer Makuta and save their home.

Now their waiting has come to an end. Six mighty warriors, known as Toa, have arrived on Mata Nui. Each controls a force of nature – fire, air, earth, water, stone, ice. But to triumph over Makuta, they must gather the Kanohi Masks of Power, which give them greater skills, abilities, and wisdom. The more masks they collect, the more powerful the Toa become.

Finding the Masks takes great courage, for Makuta controls the land, sea, and the sky of Mata Nui. He also commands a host of terrible creatures known as Rahi, as well as the Manas, fierce predators with power no single Toa can withstand…If the Toa hope to win, they must find the power of the Masks!

TM

Frank and Joe Hardy, with Callie and Iola, search for a stolen Mid-Eastern art treasure, the Ocean of Osyria, to free their best friend, Chet Morton.

“The updating of The Hardy Boys is done with a style that pays hom-age to their roots. A minimum of gadgets (thus far a Palm Pilot and a computer nerd father), a close relationship with their parents, and a pair of clean wholesome kids form the basis for this series, just like the novels have all these years.1/2”

By Charles DickensThe name parents and teachers have trusted for generations returnswith adaptations of literary works by the world’s greatest authors bytoday’s greatest graphic novelists.

The first volume of the new CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED seriespresents graphic novelist Rick Geary’s adaptation of “GreatExpectations” by Charles Dickens. The bittersweet tale of oneboy’s adolescence, and of the choices he makes to shape hisdestiny. Into an engrossing mystery, Dickens weaves a heartfeltinquiry into morals and virtues – as the orphan Pip, the convict Magwitch, the beautiful Estella, the bitter MissHavisham, the goodhearted Biddy, the kind Joe and other mem-orable characters entwine in a battle of humannature. Rick Geary’s delightful illustrations cap-ture the newfound awe and frustrations of youngPip as he comes of age, and begins to under-stand the opportunities that life presents.

HAWTHORNE’S MAGNUM OPUS IS BROUGHT TO

GRAPHIC NOVEL LIFE.

TM

Jill Thompson, an incredible graphic novelist, creator of“Scary Godmother,” and another distinguished Gaimancollaborator (“The Sandman: Brief Lives”), working frompage layouts by Russell, fully paints each page in breath-taking watercolors.

D. H. Lawrence said that there could be no moreperfect work of the American imagination than

“The Scarlet Letter.” P. Craig Russell is critically acclaimed for his ambitious graphic novel adaptations ofoperas such as “The Magic Flute,” “The Ring of the Nibelung,” “I, Pagliacci,” “Salome,”and adaptations of works by Oscar Wilde, Michael Moorcock, Rudyard Kipling, and oth-ers. Russell is also widely known for his amazing collaborations with best-sellingauthor Neil Gaiman (“The Sandman: Ramadan,” “The Sandman: Death and Venice”)and adaptations of Gaiman’s “Coraline,” “Sandman: The Dream Hunters,” “One Life,Furnished in Early Moorcock,” “Murder Mysteries,” and more. All of which makesRussell an inspired choice to adapt “The Scarlet Letter.”

A FRIGHTENING,YET TRULY

EXTRAORDINARYGENTLEMAN –

IN LEAGUE WITHMAN’S DARK SIDE.

TM

Throughout theyears, generations

have delighted inStevenson’s terrifying

tale of Dr. Henry Jekyll, thescientist who becomes trans-

formed by a drug into Mr.Edward Hyde, a murderous mon-

ster. But Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ismore than a simple horror story; afinely crafted tale of intrigue, it was aforerunner of the modern mysterynovel. On another level, it is also aremarkable examination of the con-flicts that bedevil the human spirit.

This classic tale is the inspirationfor Marvel Comics’ The IncredibleHulk, and Alan Moore, writer/co-cre-ator of the best-selling Watchmengraphic novel, revived “Dr. Jekyll andMr. Hyde” for charter membership inhis “The League of ExtraordinaryGentleman” series of graphic novels.

This adaptation by artist John K.Snyder III is true to the spirit of theoriginal Robert Louis Stevenson novel,and stands by itself as an unforgettableadventure into darkness.

he Jungle, the most popular and influentialof all of Upton Sinclair’s novels, recounts theshocking tale of immigrant Jurgis Rudkus andhis family, who find themselves at the mercyof a brutal system in the stockyards ofChicago. The book’s exposure of the danger-ous, unsanitary conditions in the meatpackingindustry created a public furor that led to thepassage of the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Peter Kuper’s powerful imagery captures themood and atmosphere of Sinclair’s dramaticstory through a bold interplay of art and text.

Kuper infuses this 1906 novel with the energyof his own profoundly original graphic innovation, making it a classic in its own right.--Publishers Weekly starred review

Successfully mixes both artistic and politicalagendas into a new work of engaged literature.--Andrew D. Arnold, Time.com
