Graphic Planet: Graphic Horror series.
Illustrated by
Chris Allen.
These brief adaptations of classic horror tales may engage comic book fans. For the most part, the shadowy cartoon-panel illustrations and simplified language attempt to stay true to the time periods and creepy atmospheres of the original stories. Awkward text placement is a drawback. Review covers these Graphic Planet: Graphic Horror titles: The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Invisible Man, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Tell-Tale Heart.
