 Emma #1 $4.50 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by NANCY BUTLER Art & Cover by JANET LEE Award-winning author Nancy Butler, adapter of Marvel's best-selling Adaptations, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE brings you another Jane Austen classic! Joined with the beautiful illustrations of JANET LEE, Butler brings to life Austen's most precocious heroine, Emma Woodhouse. Discover what has made this story so enduring, as its re-told in the Mighty Marvel manner! Date Available: 03/02/2011 BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS  This one has it all: comicfied from a classic writer (Jane Austen), women and men talk-talk-talking about relationships, with plenty of strolling down lanes and not a fist made throughout the whole comic. Truthfully I did enjoy this comic, and it’s not because of my love for 19th-century literature. Why these stories last, in my mind, is that the author hits a universal nerve. In this case, it’s people telling you why your love interest isn’t right for you, telling you how you could do better. Sound familiar? I’ve heard this more than once in my life, and Jane Austen brings this out to bear in Emma. Yes, lots of dialogue, but lots of fine writing, too, on a topic I actually see day-to-day. Only partial escapism, really, and that’s why I give this comic a thumbs up: it gives me some real characters. 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
