Just arrived for our Leisure Reading Collection: Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles by Dennis Calero. This addition marks our first graphic novel in the collection. This authorized adaptation graphically translates fourteen of Bradbury’s interconnected science fiction stories into one novel.
Here’s the summary [taken from the inside cover]: “The Earthmen came by the handful, then the hundreds, then the millions. They swept aside the majestic, dying Martian civilization to build their homes, shopping malls, and cities. Mars began as a place of boundless hopes and dreams, a planet to replace an Earth sinking into waste and war. It became a canvas for mankind’s follies and darkest desires.”
The Leisure Reading Collection is located on the main floor of the library near the elevator and Circulation Desk.
