Tor.com is pleased to offer the first part of Tim Hamilton’s graphic novel adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Including a new foreword by Bradbury himself, the graphic adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 is a striking work of art that expertly captures the now-classic story of Guy Montag’s awakening to the dangers of censorship. Fahrenheit 451 remains a very relevant book today, and this graphic adaptation is sure to introduce this seminal work to new readers.

Woot!
This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve seen in a while. Was pleased to watch it unfold (my hubby Leland shares a studio with Tim) and nearly passed out when I saw the finished product.
So cool that it’s appearing here now!
Isn’t it a little ironic to make a comic out of a novel in which comics are the only kind of books allowed?
Dankness,
Remember that when the novel was published comics were not considered legitimate literature. In fact, many thought them to be harmful to readers because they stunted intellect.
The Ten Cent Plague by David Hajdu is a good history of early comic controversies in case anyone is interested.
Thank you, Mr. Bradbury for releasing the ghosts of the earlier Ray and for your generosity in sharing this version of your work.
The book I would memorize to save from the flames is “The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment” by Tsong-Kha-Pa, a 12th century Tibetan Buddhist monk and philospher. Why? Because it contains a complete philosophy along with practical applications of ways to stretch and train the mind with the goal of experiencing true compassion for all living things and of achieving the wisdom to fully grasp that nothing is eternal.
Because it has helped so many in the past to improve their understanding, outlook, and way of living it is reasonable to assume it will continue to do so in the future if it is preserved.
It is interesting to note that, in fact, many monks have memorized this and similar texts to prevent their loss. It is a good thing they did so because in 1959 Chinese government firemen arrived in Tibet and burned all the classics they could find.
Tim’s work is really amazing, I love the fact that I can find this here.
