Gr. 6-up. Heres a collection that will have graphic novel fans and die-hard Bradbury readers scrambling for the shelves. Some of the best artists in the business have adapted the authors short stories for the comics page. Each adaptation is accompanied by a preface by Bradbury offering insight into the inspiration for the story and each artist is paired with a story that suits his artwork perfectly. Among the best are Come into My Cellar from Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame a Tales from the Crypt -like story of invaders from outer space complete with a cliff-hanger ending and retro artwork and The Golden Apples of the Sun adapted by P.
