Classics Illustrated #3: Through the Looking Glass

Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll's sequel to Alice and Wonderland, is beautifully adapted by award-winning graphic novelist Kyle Baker.

 

Alice is able to pass on through to the other side of the mirror and enter a strange and fanciful world of make-believe. Along the way Alice meets the Red and White Queens, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, and an assortment of delightful characters, each more unbelievable than the last. Harvey and Eisner award-winner Kyle Baker is an inspired choice to bring the Lewis Carroll classic to comics life.

Praise

"Baker's expressive faces and clean linework bring to life Humpty Dumpty, the Lion, the Unicorn, the Red Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and especially our old friend Alice."—Andrew 'Captain Comics' Smith, Scripps Howard News Service

"Papercutz may be on to something. The volumes are perfectly designed for library shelves, with sturdy bindings and a large enough size for kids to get a good look at the contents. The artwork is beautifully reproduced—crisp and clear—and each book contains background about the series' history and a brief bio of the artist/adaptor."—School Library Journal
