Title: Making Poe Accessible
Review: I teach English to Speakers of Other Languages, and like to use graphic novels to help clarify more difficult writing and themes. We started with "The Black Cat," which was great. the pictures very expressive, but not overly gory. "The Raven" graphics were more abstract and were difficult to follow, but it is well done. It did give a great visual for the concept of internal conflict. I showed a video of Price reciting the poem as he went through the motions, and my students have decided to draw their own graphics, which is outstanding. I recommend this book, and graphic novels for making the text accessible and motivating people to read classics.
