GRAPHIC CLASSICS' GOLD KEY


I was taking a break when Graphic Classics approached me with a short Edgar Allen Poe story "The Oval Portrait." No, I hadn't heard of it either. Cool enough though was it's premise of artistic wanking killing it's subject. You gotta love that; it's been my mantra forever (though I fall prey to the brass polish more than most.)
Anyway, they sent me a couple examples of other books in the series, and it's really great stuff. There's a great eclectic force of styles in the books, suited to the classic titles. Have a look at the website here. Personally, it takes me back to Ivanhoe days with Gold Key Classics.
Great stuff.

Poe! Sounds like an awesome project. What are gold key classics? Is that like the old Classics Illustrated series?
