Graphic Canon Volume 2

I'm super happy to contribute my Alice pieces to the graphic novel book, Graphic Canon Volume 2: from  "Kubla Khan" to the the Brontë Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray, edited by American editor and publisher Russ Kick.


" The Graphic Canon, Volume 2 gives us a visual cornucopia based on the wealth of literature from the 1800s. Several artists—including Maxon Crumb and Gris Grimly—present their versions of Edgar Allan Poe’s visions. The great American novel Huckleberry Finn is adapted uncensored for the first time, as Twain wrote it.

We see both of Coleridge’s most famous poems: “Kubla Khan” and “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (the latter by British comics legend Hunt Emerson). Philosophy and science are ably represented by ink versions of Nietzsche’sThus Spake Zarathustra and Darwin’s On the Origin of Species... " Click to read more on Graphic Canon wordpress.


Anyway, I received two books and wow, they are really thick! Great quality, 512 pages! I would like to share these pics with all of you.




Wow, I must say that many illustrations and comics of talented artists are so awesome!


Now, Alice Gallery. I was way too eager to see my featured illustrations, hoho!


Many fans asked me if I could plan to make prints of my piece, " The Hole in Alice's World " for selling. So I'm still thinking about it.

Oh my gosh,  Bill Carman is one of my favorite artists!


I can't take all photos. I recommend you to watch this Youtube video here.

I haven't read this whole book yet. Visit some links for reviews, availability, updates:
