Now twenty-four volumes and growing, the Graphic Classics series presents great fiction in comics and illustration for contemporary readers ages twelve to adult.

Graphic Classics print editions are sold in bookstores, comics shops, or direct from the publisher atwww.graphicclassics.com. Libraries and schools can order from Diamond Book Distributors, Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Follett or other distributors.

“Unlike most of the other volumes in Eureka’s visually arresting and diverse Graphic Classics series, this installment, focused on the father of modern science fiction, concentrates on four longer stories rather than a more wide-ranging sampling of tales. The more involved treatments, practically a necessity, given Wells’ canon, make for a dense and very satisfying experience and benefit from the use of a variety of styles. Young readers suspicious of what they might consider less “sophisticated” science fiction may be pleasantly surprised at the primacy and timelessness of Wells’ ideas and the insight into human nature lurking beneath the surface."
— Jesse Karp, Booklist

Reviews of the Graphic Classics series:

“Innovative visual entrĂ©es to great writers and their legacies.”
— Stephanie Zvirin, Booklist
“A splendidly inventive series.”
— Malcolm Jones, Newsweek
“So imaginative, evocative, and compelling in their execution that they leave readers with no choice but to crave more.”
— Michael Dooley, Imprint
