Graphic Planet: Graphic Horror series.
Illustrated by
Ben Dunn.
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.

Graphic Planet: Graphic Horror series.
Illustrated by
Mark Kidwell.
These comic-book versions of classic and original horror tales are generally well served by the format (though the font is tiny). The dark-toned illustrations help build suspense, and characters are clearly delineated as good or evil. Readers unfamiliar with the originals may be inspired to seek them out. Most stories feature violence but not an abundance of gore. Review covers these Graphic Planet: Graphic Horror titles: Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, The Creature from the Depths, Mummy, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Werewolf.
