I've read a comics of The Raven and other of Poe's works, it's not a manga though.

"Illustrated Classics" anyone? Or am I just too old, & nobody else remembers them anymore? 🤣
That's it! Classics Illustrated! I feel old now too, most of them don't know it.

I was at a crap Tokyopop ReCon a while back, and two of the artists on those Shakespeare adaptions where there.
Should I have shot them on the spot? 😁
They have even more Shakespeare Manga. "The Action Packed Way"

i dunno.. call me conventional but i think manga's an essentially asian culture.. and shakespeare is so classically western that manga-nizing it would be a loss of it's errrrr... culture?
i still associate manga and manhwa with asia - especially japan and korea... can't seem to err... imagine them in other context... i think mebbe i'm too used to it.. or i'm a stick in the mud..
but shakespeare may roll in his grave knowing about this... 🤣
