ActuaBD.com on the Ex Libris Line

This article on the formation of a line at Delcourt called Ex Libris, intended to publish adaptations of literary classics under the direction of writer Jean-David Morvan, fairly reminds me of a Comic Buyer's Guide article in that a long history of comics adaptations is offered up as well as various details about the new imprint. The most interesting section explains how the books will be formatted in a way that will hopefully make them more explicitly amenable to be pressed into service as a teaching aid; if you think about it for a second, many of the more popular comics adaptations through the years boast a tenuous relationship to their originals.
