\u201cClassical Comics\u201d is a series of comic books made by the English textbook company, Heinle. The comics are adaptations of famous classic stories, and the English Lounge has a whole collection of them. Because these books are meant for English learners, they include helpful information in the back: a vocabulary list, information about the author, character lists, etc. In addition, the English is changed to be easier to understand than the original, like a Graded Reader.<\/p>\n

A Christmas Carol<\/em> is based on Charles Dickens\u2019 short book of the same name. It tells the story of Ebinezer Scrooge, a rich and greedy old man whose heart has grown cold. This story is so famous that if you call someone a \u201cScrooge\u201d it means they are being greedy. Christmas is coming, but he hates the holiday. Then, he is visited by a series of ghosts who show him Christmas past, present, and future, including his lonely death. He learns the meaning of Christmas, love, and God, and promises to change his life.<\/p>\n

My two cents:<\/strong> \u201cClassical Comics\u201d do not have great art. However, I think that A Christmas Carol<\/em> has some of the better and more creative drawings in the series, especially the use of black and the colors of the three different ghosts.<\/p>\n
