"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. As with previous volumes in the Graphic Canon series, the illustrations run the full gamut of media and techniques, and artistic interpretations range from verbatim literalism to metaphorical extensions to surrealism and abstraction.

I'm still upset Russ Kick died last year. I loved this series. Got me into a lot of books. I wonder if they will find a new editor and continue doing different Graphic Canons (a sci-fi and fantasy one would be cool) or if they'll just end it here. This has been going on for sometime. Needless to say I enjoyed this volume. It had some surprises in it and books I've actually read. The art is always fun to look at from time to time. (
