A new round of Pengiun Classics with covers by comics-types is on the way, apparently; the first to be revealed, Dan Clowes’ Frankenstein!

Frazer Irving just did this book for puffin! What a bandwagon this GN craze is.
Who’s doing their Treasure Island? : )

I don’t remember if it was for Penguin, but I very surprised when I found Chester Brown’s cover (w/biography of DH Lawrence on the back) for an edition of Lady Chatterlay’s Lover a few weeks ago. These are pretty cool if they are a series!
My Barnes & Noble has an endcap display of the entire series. All are nicely art directed, such as Charles Burns’ cow head for Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. I hope Penguin will issue some posters.
CharlesR: Yes, it’s also part of the Penguin Series.
That Frankenstein monster looks a little like Crispin Glover.
I enjoyed this site very much and have taken away a better insight. I will recommend this site to everyone I know. More people should step into .
