From School Library Journal:
Grade 6 Up–Taking stories from Alexander Dumas, O. Henry, Arthur Conan Doyle, and others and turning them into comics provides some very entertaining pieces. Colonial explorers, treasure-mad eccentrics, and mysterious figures in seedy taverns populate each tale, with the language mostly updated but still referring to natives as brutes. Each tale is drawn differently, from caricature to stark, matching the tenor of the plot. Settings such as a desert, a jungle, and the American West plus plenty of strange characters bring the adventures alive. This is a thoroughly satisfying affirmation of the magic of reading, taking readers anywhere they want to go.–John Leighton, Brooklyn Public Library, NY

From Booklist:
Gr. 9-12. Teens studying the classics in school will be delighted by this accessible selection of illustrated stories from classic masters, ranging from Kipling to Dumas. Focusing on adventure stories and poems, Pomplun offers a variety of both storytelling and illustration. A sampling includes Sax Rohmer's "In the Valley of the Sorceress," about an archaeologist unearthing an Egyptian tomb,^B with stark, stylized, high-contrast black-and-white art by J. B. Bonivert, and "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," presented as a humorous poetic ode to the Wild West. As a bonus, Pomplun includes short biographies of the writers and artists. A good suggestion for teens having a hard time getting into the classics. Tina Coleman
