English Summary/英文概要：

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 经典的西方文明的真作见于漫画艺术，插画和一些已经在二十世纪的最后几年和二十一世纪的前十年重拍过的拉斯·克克(Russ Kick)的权威、全彩色的作品，包括1,2,3卷。

第一卷带领我们感受了十八世纪末的早期文学，我们体验了人类伟大的史诗，包括：《吉尔伽美什》(Gilgamesh)，《伊利亚特》(Iliad)，《奥德赛》(Odyssey) [加雷思·海因兹(Gareth Hinds)用水彩画形式展现出来]，《埃涅伊德》(The Aeneid)，《贝奥武夫》(Beowulf)，《天方夜谭》(The Arabian Nights)，加上后来的史诗《神曲》(The Divine Comedy)和《坎特伯雷故事集》(The Canterbury Tales)[由著名插画家和平面设计西摩·科瓦斯特(Seymour Chwast)所作]，《失乐园》(Paradise Lost) 和《亚瑟王之死》(Le Morte D’Arthur)。古希腊最伟大的两个戏剧经过重编—欧里庇得斯(Euripides)的悲剧《美狄亚》(Medea)和塔尼亚·施拉格(Tania Schrag)不受压制的重新描写阿里斯托芬(Aristophanes)著作的淫秽喜剧《利西翠妲》(Lysistrata)(（其中的文本仍然在许多教科书审查）。也包括罗伯特·克拉姆(Robert Crumb)罕见的改编的作品《詹姆斯·博斯韦尔的伦敦杂志》(James Boswell’s London Journal)，在作品既充满哲学争辩性又充满通俗放荡。

此卷也涵盖了宗教文学及良好的说明，包括《旧约圣经》(Books of Daniel and Esther from the Old Testament)和里克·基尔(Rick Geary)威风重新编辑的《新约圣经》(Book of Revelation from the New Testament)，《道德经》，《鲁米的苏菲诗歌》(Rumi’s Sufi Poetry)，《印度教的摩诃婆罗多》(Mahabharata)和罗伯塔·格雷戈里(Roberta Gregory)作插图的《玛雅圣书波波尔·乌》(Mayan Holy Book Popol Vuh)。东方真作受到了应有的尊敬，《源氏物语》(The Tale of Genji) [全世界第一的小说，由奥布里·比亚兹莱(Aubrey Beardsley)完成的全页插图]，中国文学黄金时期的《三部诗篇》由地下开拓漫画家沙龙·鲁大(Sharon Rudahl)重新插画，《西藏死亡书》(Tibetan Book of the Dead),《日本能剧》(Japanese Noh play), 以及来自亚洲的其他作品。

此书还包括莎士比亚最伟大的两个作品《李尔王》(King Lear)和《仲夏夜之梦》(Midsummer Night’s Dream)以及他的两首十四行诗，还有《柏拉图的研讨会》(Plato’s Symposiom)，《格列佛游记》(Gulliver’s Travels)，《老实人》(Candide)，《女权辩护》(A Vindication of the Rights of Woman)，爱和欲望的《文艺复兴时期的诗歌》(Renaissance poetry of love and desire)，以及由传奇的威尔·艾斯纳(Will Eisner)意想的《唐吉诃德》(Don Quixote)。

本卷中还有一些意想不到的作品，诸如《土著美洲人的民间故事》(Native American Folktale)，印加(Incan)戏剧，萨福(Sappho’s)的诗歌片段，本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin）淫秽的文章，阿贝拉尔和埃洛伊丝(Abelard and Heloise)的情书，和由莫莉·海棠(Molly Crabapple)作插图的颓废的法国经典小说《危险关系》(Dangerous Liaisons)。

还有更多，更多的名著等着你。（LNL & CK）

"You wouldn’t think a memoir about clinical depression would be inspiring—but Swados, a musician and theater director, relates her battle against her demons with such candor and simplicity, and with such winsome illustrations, that it’s empowering. Swados lifts the stigma to help the reader find solutions, and hope.

"While many of the great graphic books tackle dark subject matter, this ambitious three-volume set is a sheer delight. A huge roster of artists illustrates the Western Canan, including the works of Homer, Shakespeare, the Brontë Sisters, and Hemingway. A visual feast, the collection offers a fresh way of interpreting and appreciating the classics—and might encourage you to pick up a few you’ve never gotten around to."

"Almost anything can be seen as a crime story, and almost anything can be adapted into a graphic novel. Few, however, have attempted such an ambitious and quirky melding of these two truths as editor and artist Russ Kick with his new anthology, The Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery. This cleverly arranged series of graphic adaptations of classic mystery tales brings together a wide range of artists matched with a diverse list of stories, many of which are only loosely categorizable as crime fiction (that’s part of the fun of it). With everything from biblical judgements to decadent poetry to 19th century classics, Kick and his army of artists have crafted a formidable and fascinating collection."
