Moby Dick

Summary: Color panels bring the classic alive
Review: It's hard to easily categorize Will Eisner's Moby Dick: this classic of American literature by Herman Melville is here translated to the graphic novel form, translating the story of one man's obsession with a huge whale into a series of color panels which bring the classic alive. Reluctant readers as well as fans of graphic novels will find this illuminating.

Summary: What the...?
Review: There have been several comic book versions of Moby-Dick down through the years and this is by far the worst. The illustrations are a travesty. Will Esner obviously did no research into whales or whaling and it would appear that his reading of Moby-Dick was cursory at best. If you want a good comic version of Moby-Dick then seek out the Classics Illustrated version from the 1950s.
