Share this

Through September 7, 2006, Slate.com is offering daily excerpts of The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón. Using actual passages from the 9/11 Commission’s report and with a forward by Commission Chair Thomas H. Kean and Vice-Chair Lee H. Hamilton, the book’s message is powerful and accessible. The duo brings a long history in graphic novels and the comics industry to the project. Sid Jacobson was the managing editor and editor in chief for Harvey Comics, where he created Richie Rich, and was executive editor at Marvel Comics. Ernie Colón has worked at Harvey, Marvel, and DC Comics. At DC, he oversaw the production of Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Blackhawk, and the Flash and at Marvel, Spider-Man. An interview with Colón and Jacobson on NPR’s Talk of the Nation is available here.
