Fashionista Piranha reviews the Classical Comics's edition of Jane Eyre:

Amy Corzine, the script adapter for Jane Eyre, did a wonderful job capturing the characters' emotions in abbreviated form. (...)
John M. Burns' did a stunning job with the art. Instead of the usual inked panels we see in comic books, Jane Eyre is lushly painted in an older style of art that reminds me of the old Nancy Drew covers. (After Googling Nancy Drew's art in an attempt to understand this connection, I must be remembering the second generation artist Bill Gillies or third generation Rudy Nappi.) The use of heavy shadows and rich color really capture the mood of the gothic story. Dark greens and greys give Lowood School a unhealthy pallor, while Thornfield Hall's brightly decorated walls, so lovely during parties and special events, become dimly lit and vaguely threatening when Rochester's mood is low.

Finally, LipRing Inspired: A ZiggyGurl Production includes a brief comment about Jane Eyre.
