Jane Eyre. Classical Comic for 2008

BBC News publishes about upcoming comic adaptations of Shakespeare plays. We have come across a particularly (for a blog like ours) interesting passing comment:

Another new publisher, Classical Comics, is working on full-colour comic versions of some of the plays, starting with Henry V and Macbeth, but taking a different approach to accessibility.

Each comes in three versions: original text, "plain text" and "quick text". (...)

Publisher Karen Wenborn said the rationale behind the series, which also aims to include other writers beginning with Bronte and Dickens, was unashamedly educational. (Gary Eason)

On the Classical Comics's website more information and some illustrations can be found:

Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë

"I scorn your idea of love and the counterfeit sentiment you offer.
And I scorn you when you offer it."

The Charlotte Bronte classic from 1847, is brought to vibrant life by the artist John M Burns. His sympathetic treatment of the classical romance will delight any reader with its strong emotions and wonderfully rich atmosphere.
