Beschreibung

Gr. 6-up. Here's a collection that will have graphic novel fans and die-hard Bradbury readers scrambling for the shelves. Some of the best artists in the business have adapted the author's short stories for the comics page. Each adaptation is accompanied by a preface by Bradbury, offering insight into the inspiration for the story, and each artist is paired with a story that suits his artwork perfectly. Among the best are "Come into My Cellar," from Dave Gibbons (of Watchmen fame), a Tales from the Crypt -like story of invaders from outer space, complete with a cliff-hanger ending and retro artwork, and "The Golden Apples of the Sun," adapted by P. Craig Russell (Sandman), an interstellar exploration of the uninhabitable star. A wonderful showcase of graphic novel artists and a great introduction for readers new to Bradbury's dark fantasy world. -Carlos Orellana

Über den Autor

Ray Bradbury was one of America's most beloved writers of imaginative fiction, known for stories that joined science fiction, fantasy, horror, nostalgia, and poetic prose. Born in Waukegan, Illinois, in 1920, Bradbury became a defining voice of mid-century American literature, building a readership that extended far beyond the usual boundaries of genre fiction. His work often explores childhood, memory, censorship, loneliness, wonder, fear, and the moral choices that shape [...] best-known books include The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and many celebrated short stories. Bradbury's science fiction is less concerned with machinery than with human feeling, social warning, and the strange beauty of possibility. His stories helped prove that speculative fiction could be lyrical, accessible, emotionally powerful, and central to American literary culture.
