(4) 4-6 Toon Graphic series. Translated by Richard Kutner. The Greek tragedy is given modern graphical packaging. The straightforwardly retold text, translated from the French, isn't particularly noteworthy, but the open and free-flowing comic presentation, which doesn't constrain the art to traditional panels, is suited to visual learners. Character profiles and an illustrated index provide useful background information. Reading list, websites.

(4) 4-6 Toon Graphic series. Translated by Richard Kutner. This French import offers a straightforward retelling of the familiar Greek myth in graphic-novel form. While the translated text is undistinguished, the comics-style art is effective. The page design is more open than typical American comics, with single- and double-page spreads in addition to panel illustrations. An illustrated index provides useful background on the people and places mentioned in the story.

(4) 4-6 Toon Graphic series. Translated by Richard Kutner. This title offers a Greek myth in modern styling. It's an oft-told story, and the text is nothing new or particularly noteworthy, but, with a graphic format not constrained by typical comic layouts, the presentation is open and free-flowing (if hampered by asterisks and footnotes). Character profiles and an illustrated index provide useful background information. Reading list, websites.
