Enlightened by Darkness - Vol.3 As Darkness Spreads

We get to see the violent Hammerheads, who didn't make it into the famous film with Judy Garland. The photodiorama here presents the Emerald City as you've never seen it before. This is an actual physical set that Graham built, and it resides on a tabletop in his home. Annie Mok turned in an effortlessly flowing page comic adaptation of "Araby," considered one of the best stories from James Joyce's Dubliners. This marks the first time that a story from that landmark work has been graphically adapted. Ted Rall, best known for his political cartoons, employs his signature look to relate "Hands," the first story from Sherwood Anderson's masterful Winesburg, Ohio , an unsettling look at life in a small Midwestern town.

Ernest Hemingway's second published short story, "A Matter of Colour," has been buried in obscurity, included in just one of his collections, and that's published only in the UK. At my suggestion, Dan Duncan enthusiastically made this boxing tale into a beautiful comic that looks like it could come from Marvel, which indeed is one of the concerns that has published Dan's work.

Over on the experimental, avant-garde end of the spectrum, Jeremy Eaton has wordlessly adapted a short story by Flannery O'Connor, the master of Southern Gothic. Jeremy's colorful style employs only typographical symbols - letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and dingbats - to relate the disturbing events of "The Heart of the Park.

I love the fact that an artist in Belgium has perfectly captured the quintessential 20th-century novel about America. You can almost taste the dust. Besides sequential comics and full-page illustrations, some artists chose to create dramatic two-page spreads for their works. Anthony Ventura made a visceral, threatening spread for "The Second Coming," the endlessly bleak and much-anthologized poem from W.

Meanwhile, Lesley Barnes took on another dark, hopeless work - Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell - and using her gorgeously intricate, geometric approach, turned it into something so beautiful you almost don't mind the endless eyes upon you. As in every volume, I made an attempt to stretch the bounds of what is considered canonical.

In Volume 3, I found artists who were willing to adapt works that I believe qualify as great literature even if they haven't been universally accepted as such yet: Ballard shown here, adapted by Onsmith.

Being an anthologist is an exercise in letting go of control - things fall through or never materialize; unexpected things happen. I tried to get someone to do Proust, but no one was willing to wade into the 1.

Perhaps in a future volume Speaking of unexpected, it was a happy day when Robert Crumb graciously allowed Seven Stories and me to reprint two of his rarely seen stories - excerpts from Boswell's London Journal in Volume 1 and a key chapter from Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist classic Nausea shown here.

Crumb hand-lettered the entire nine pages of heavy dialog and narration in the original French, and my publisher and I decided to keep it that way, rather than providing a translation. It's the only piece in all three volumes not in English, and we're fond of the twist that it provides. You really don't know what you're going to find when you open to any page of The Graphic Canon.

The Most Beautiful Book of 2013 is 'The Graphic Canon, Volume 3'

Another case in point: Even though most of the pieces are sequential comics or illustrations often in a series , other types of art are on display. James Uhler uses radical typography and graphic design to present two of Rilke's insightful Letters to a Young Poet. Jenny Tondera randomly distorts film stills to present a unique version of "The Negro Dreams of Rivers," the signature poem of Langston Hughes. Employing photodioramas, Laura Plansker built small sets for three key scenes from Animal Farm by George Orwell shown here.

If only there were space enough and time to individually mention every piece in these pages. Ben Moss' snapshot of Siddhartha's conversation with the Buddha from Hermann Hesse's novel ; Robert Berry's thoroughly enjoyable adaptation of Leopold Bloom's morning activities from Ulysses by James Joyce; Joy Kolitsky's stunning renditions one in black and white, one in color of two poems from the astonishing Edna St. Vincent Millay shown here ; Caroline Picard's visually groundbreaking adaptation of a key scene from The Voyage Out , Virginia Woolf's first novel; John Pierard's two spreads from The Doors of Perception , in which Aldous Huxley famously took a dose of the psychedelic substance mescaline and shared the results with the world; Kate Glasheen's ten full-page paintings for William Faulkner's rarely read second story, "The Hill" And still it goes on.

Cormac McCarthy and Kathy Acker. I still don't quite understand how all of this came together.
