Abstract
The purpose of this project was to create a medium that will bridge between the youth and the classical literature in order to address increasing epidemic of child illiteracy in this visual dominant world. The proposed solution was to introduce the classics to youth in the form of graphic novels; therefore, the goal of this project was the execution of the hypothesis and the examination of the result through audience response. It was also intended to serve as a tool to emulate the professional publishing market so that a student illustrator may become familiar with the function/characteristics of the market, the collaborative teamwork, and possibly to gain the market exposure that is crucial in the publishing world.
