9/11 Commission Report becomes a Comic Book


It happens quite often with government documents... since they are in the public domain, there is a tendency to repackage the information found within the items and sell them for a fee. Sometimes, with databases like Lexis-Nexis Congressional (which is now available through Aladin!), it actually makes the information easier to find. With the case of a new version of the report released by the 9/11 Commission, a republishing might actually make it easier to comprehend. The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation by two greats of the comic industry, Sid Jacobson (who created Richie Rich) and Ernie Colon (he drew Richie Rich and Casper). It will be available next month from Hill & Wang.
