To Kill a Mockingbird: A Graphic Novel by Harper Lee, adapted & edited by Fred Fordham 288 pp.
This graphic novel version of the classic book is impeccably done. It is true to the novel as much as possible. Much of the wording of the original text is used. The artwork is realistic and true to the time period and small town local. Atticus is drawn with dignity, though not as handsome as Gregory Peck. Nothing in this graphic version is exaggerated or overdone. I found it to be an excellent version and good way to revisit the story without reading the original novel again. Also, Boo Radley wasn't as fearsome as Robert DeNiro in the in the film.
