In the UK and the USA most books are a collaboration between a writer and an artist. In Japan I estimate that about 70% of manga is made by one key person who both writes and draws. SEAN: Well that would take a whole article in itself! The process of making comic books is more subtle and complex than most realize. The quality of art and printing is also very high, with excellent illustrators involved.īOA: What is the process of putting together a graphic novel like this?

The stand out features of these books is their dignified approach. So they asked me to do Wuthering Heights. I wrote 4 adaptations for them of classic 19th Century books: Wuthering Heights, A Centerville Ghost, A Christmas Carol and Sweeney Todd. SEAN: Classical Comics has a well-received line of Shakespeare in comic book format that are geared towards teachers and students in the UK and USA education systems. BOA: How did the idea for a graphic novel of Wuthering Heights come about?
