The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


Jack London gets told in graphic novel format

Here's a newsletter I got from Graphic Classics, that announces the company's adaptation of some of Jack London's stories in comic format:

Well now, that's nice. It's been years since I read such classics of London's as The Call of the Wild, which my dad may still have in his book collection, but this could certainly be interesting.
