Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury/Hamilton (Hill/Wang, 2009)

I've seen a mixed bag of classic novels illustrated in comic book form. The fact that Bradbury lent his voice to the introduction of this graphic novel speaks volumes--especially if you look at his skepticism of Truffaut's film adaptation of the same. Hamilton gives the novel a timeless quality that says this could be in the now, or it could be yet to come. In an age where we step closer to the wall culture (absorbed by the screens and interactive appliances) that Bradbury describes--Fahrenheit 451 is certainly a novel that speaks to our times--a prophecy if you will--and Hamilton translates the novel into images (often times tongue-in-cheek) brilliantly.
