Comments(0) Books in graphic format can be fiction or nonfiction material. “Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island: the Graphic Novel” adapted by Tim Hamilton, and “Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty: the Graphic Novel” adapted by June Brigman, are examples of fiction classics. While “Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad” by Michael Martin, and “Battle of the Alamo” by Matt Doeden, are nonfiction subjects presented in graphic format. -Libby Rupert
[Will Eisner adapted Moby-Dick, Don Quixote, and The Princess and the Frog. Eisner also presented Fagin the Jew (from Dickens’s Oliver Twist) and Sundiata. BK]
