Presents graphic novel adaptations of Mark Twain's tale about a nineteenth-century American transported to sixth-century England; Jules Verne's story about a Victorian gentleman who sets out to win a bet by circumnavigating the globe in eighty days or less; and Anthony Hope's story in which an English ne'er-do-well falls into intrigue involving the new king of Ruritania, a distant relative with whom he shares an uncanny likeness.

Contains graphic novel adaptations of three classic mystery stories, including the Sherlock Holmes adventure "The Hound of the Baskervilles," Shakespeare's "Macbeth," a tale of murder and madness, and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," in which a school teacher's pursuit of a local beauty puts him at odds with another suitor.
