Graphic novels may be all the rage, but the art of turning prose into comix is one many publishers are finding just slightly easier than turning lead into gold. From the early days of Classics Illustrated right up until today, Mike & Greg take a look at five novel-to-comics adaptations to get a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to adding pictures to all those words:

  • A People’s History of the American Empire by Howard Zinn (adapted by Mike Konopacki and Paul Buhle)
  • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick (adapted by Tony Parker)
  • The Jungle by Upton Sinclair (adapted by Kristina Gehrmann)
  • The Giver by Lois Lowry (adapted by P. Craig Russell)
  • Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death by Kurt Vonnegut (adapted by Ryan North & Albert Monteys)

Greg Matiasevich has read enough author bios that he should be better at coming up with one for himself, yet surprisingly isn't. However, the years of comic reading his parents said would never pay off obviously have, so we'll cut him some slack on that. He lives in Baltimore, co-hosts (with Mike Romeo) the Robots From Tomorrow podcast, writes Multiversity's monthly Shelf Bound column dedicated to comics binding, and can be followed on Twitter at @GregMatiasevich.
