I want to read one Thor comic and one Hercules related comic with my students (to precede a brief unit on greek mythology). I'm looking for short comics, something a student can read in a day or two. Any thoughts?
I'm a bit overwhelmed by options.

Hey everyone, discussion down there was cool - I added it as a resource and scanned in a cool Art S. comic that makes an allusion to Kafka. For big discussion ideas do consider using the discussion forum so your great ideas don't get lost in the comment wall! Happy New Year - Ry:)

Very cool interpretation of Kafka. I can't wait to start the new semester with our graphic novel reading circles.

Thank you, Margery. I look forward to seeing them when they're finished.

I hadn't seen the Sikoryak adaptation. I can't wait to show it to my class after break. Thanks, Mark. Louann, I'll check out the Crumb Kafka as well. My students currently working on the project are seniors, but I plan to use it with 11th graders as well along with Maus. Once the projects are completed to my student's satisfaction, they will be posting them on their wikis. I'll let you know once they are up. I have blogs for my classes, but wikis are where they post their work.

I'd love to see it too! Shall we create a discussion for it? ("we" meaning probably Margery?) Or Margery, do you have a site/blog where you'll post it?
PS. Sikoryak's book continues with the adaptation, that's not the whole thing. That's just the part he had posted on his internets "page"! 8^D

I hadn't seen Sikoryak's adaptation; thank you, Marek for sharing that. I also like the version by R.Crumb and David Zane Mairowitz in R. Crumb's Kafka. Margery, I'm interested in knowing more about the age of your students and maybe being able to see some of their art. If that's possible, you can send me a message on this ning and not have to post to the wall.

Margery -- Have you seen R. Sikoryak's Masterpiece Comics adaptation of The Metamorphosis (into the comic strip world of "Peanuts")?

Comment by Margery Willis on December 28, 2009 at 3:08pm

My class just finished reading The Metamorphosis. The culminating computer project is for students to create a graphic interpretation of a scene from the novella. I used Peter Kuper's Metamorphosis as a sample of what they might like to try. The results have been incredible.

@Lindsay --

One more article I've stumbl'd o'er while researching WWII comics:
Superman's roots in the "Golem" Myth
