The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation
by possibly noteworthy at 2:42 pm EDT, Aug 19, 2006 |
The report of the 9/11 Commmission is now available as a comic book. Check it out. "Never before have I seen a non-fiction book as beautifully and compellingly written and illustrated as The 9/11 Report, A Graphic Adaptation. I cannot recommend it too highly. It will surely set the standard for all future works of contemporary history, graphic or otherwise, and should be required reading in every home, school and library."
--Stan Lee
I ran across this at the bookstore yesterday. It seems well done. Washington Post ran a story on it back in July: The book condenses the nearly 600-page federal report released by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States to fewer than 150 pages, and the creators say they hope their book will help attract young readers and others who might be overwhelmed by the original document. With sans-serif captions, artist renderings, charts and sound-describing words such as "Whooom!" and "R-rrumble," the adaptation recounts the attacks with parallel timelines of the four hijacked planes.
