Preview of art for Northanger Abbey graphic novel
We were delighted to hear from Anne Timmons, the artist for the upcoming Gothic Classics graphic novelization of several Gothic novels and Northanger Abbey, which will be out in May 2007. The page for the book itself has a little illustration at the very bottom of the left side–John Thorpe driving Catherine away from the Tilneys! “Stop, stop, Mr. Thorpe!” And Anne’s blog features a little panel of Catherine on the streets of Bath–what or whom is she so happy to see, hmm?
*squee*
P.S. A little poking around revealed the back cover of this number of Gothic Classics, from Northanger Abbey–looks like somebody’s doing some investigating!

*Squee* indeed! Northanger Abbey AND Udolpho? Oh, what fun! (ponders about getting a copy across the pond)

Very nice illustrations! All sorts of NA goodies to look forward to this year.

Gah! They pushed the release date back a month. A true test of my patience
I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a while now. Nice to have a couple glimpses of the artwork though! I can’t wait….:-D

Hi
I just found your blog. Love it! I’m a big Austen fan.
I didn’t see “Letters to Alice on First Reading Jane Austen” by Fay Weldon in your list. It is about reading good literature and the writing process. I really enjoyed it. Thought I’d pass that info along, although looking at this site, I’d be surprised if you hadn’t read it!

A fun way to read Northanger Abbey ! Nice to see Anne Timmons is an NA fan. I quite like her lively Catherine pics.
Delicious Anticipation !

I love the back cover color illustration, Catherine looks like a divine goddess (just as she imagines herself in her fantasies perhaps?)…

Thank you so much for the fabulous feedback!
I’ve linked to this magnificent website on my blog.
And I have just added another NA picture to my last post, too!
