{"product_id":"9781609807863","title":"The Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery, Vol. 1: From Sherlock Holmes to A Clockwork Orange to Jo Nesbø","description":"The first of two volumes builds on the brilliant and original Graphic Canon series in retelling classic works of literature as comics and other visual forms. Organized thematically, Volume 1 opens with \"The Act\" (think \u003ci\u003eIn Cold Blood\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e), followed by sections dedicated to \"Criminals,\" Whodunit,\" \"Judgment\" (\u003ci\u003eScarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e, anyone?), and \"Punishment.\" Here you'll find stunning and suspenseful adaptations starring classic PIs Sherlock Holmes, Auguste Dupin, Hercule Poirot, Father Brown, Mike Hammer, and teenage girl-detective Violet Strange. But the mystery, intrigue, and foul play don't end (or begin) there. The artists also bring to life crime stories from the \u003ci\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/i\u003e, the Bible, \u003ci\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, China's Song Dynasty, Shakespeare, James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e, Patricia Highsmith, Truman Capote, and current writers like Stephen King, Jo Nesbo, and Sara Paretsky.    \u003cbr\u003e Rick Geary brings his crisp style to Dostoevsky's \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e. Teddy Goldenberg gives us a dense, murky treatment of Dashiell Hammett's \"The Road Home,\" often considered the first hardboiled detective story ever published. C. Frakes resurrects the forgotten novella \"Talma Gordon,\" the first mystery written by an African American; and Shawn Cheng renders the first serial-killer story, the so-called fairy tale \"Bluebeard\" by Charles Perrault.     \u003cbr\u003e Even the very natures of crime, justice, and punishment are up for grabs. Landis Blair reimagines \u003ci\u003eThe Trial\u003c\/i\u003e, as a choose-your-own-adventure story that you cannot win, Ted Rall retells an O. Henry story about a petty criminal who just can't get arrested. From The Marquis de Sade to James Cain, Aeschylus to Paula Hawkins, crime and mystery has never been so brilliantly reimagined.","brand":"Seven Stories Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157164703984,"sku":"9781609807863","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609807863_p0.jpg?v=1763836215","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609807863","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
