Classical Comics

I have written a comic book version of the novel A CHRISTMAS CAROL, by Charles Dickens. For the UK publisher, CLASSICAL COMICS, which will be out October 2008. A preview can be dwnload here:

My version highlights the social realism of the book, mixed with the very engaging characters that relay the moral in the story. They are making a line of high quality adaptations, including with my good friend Neill Cameron,who has done the art for the first of this line of books - HENRY V. This book is out now. Their aim is a good one and they have a great team of people working on their books. In fact they just won a silver medal in the 2008 Independent Publishers Awards in America - in the Graphic Novel/Drawn Book- Drama/Documentary category. So, please click the post title and check them out.

The artist on A Christmas Carol will be Mike Collins, who has been professional artist for more than 20 years. He has worked on many well known books, such as Batman, Judge Dredd, Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Harry Potter. So its lucky for me to have such an experienced artist drawing my script. He even has good taste in music - likes Joni Mitchell, one of my favourites too! Here are two pages by him, David Roach and James Offredi.

The second book of mine with Classical comics will be THE CANTERVILLE GHOST, based on the first book published of Oscar Wilde's. The mansion house art above is the opening page from that book, by Steve Bryant and Jason Millet. The third book is WUTHERING HEIGHTS, which will be drawn by the expectional John M Burns. Again, someone who has being creating comics for many years and who is still doing great work ( Nikolai Dante, Judge Dredd, TV Century 21, Look-In, Modesty Blaise, etc. An honour to have him work on one of my scripts.
