I’m going to guess a large portion of our readers are fans of, or at least more than a little familiar with, Mr. Edgar Allen Poe (and not just because of the bizarre possibility his life story will hit the big-screen courtesy of Sylvester Stallone). Thanks to editor Dan Whitehead, a friend of Joblo.com, we’re getting a look at a special graphic novel updating some of the author’s more potent tales. It’s in bookstores across the pond right now, but won’t be available here in the States until April.
NEVERMORE brings Poe to a new audience, showcasing his most memorable stories. Here Poe’s short stories are re-imagined and revived in this vibrant graphic novel anthology, where the cream of modern comics creators are let loose in the playground of Poe’s limitless imagination.
From the melancholy poem of lost love, The Raven, to the psychological terror of The Tell-Tale Heart and the fantastical detective work of Murders In The Rue Morgue, beloved classics are brought to life in vivid and exciting ways for a new generation of readers.
Some of the contributing illustrators and writers include Jamie Delano, Steve Pugh, Ian Edginton, John McCrea, Leah Moore and John Reppion.
