The Graphic Canon of Children's Literature

“A masterful success. If [Russ Kick would] unleash several other loose Canons, I’d be living happily ever after.” —Print Magazine

“Some of history’s most skillful wielding of tales has refused to bend to the false divide between “children’s” and “adult” storytelling … On the heels of the year’s best children’s books comes a magnificent embodiment of that ethos in The Graphic Canon of Children’s Literature” —Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

“These dazzlingly varied renderings run the gamut from haunting to comical while offering visceral reminders that children’s stories are often densely layered, infinitely transposable, and peddle in imagery both macabre and whimsical. It is the unfettered imagination of these stories that make them not only wildly entertaining, but also vessels of forgotten truths.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
