There have always been, for me, 4 "classic" writers of the 19th Century whose work I've admired, mostly in film adaptations, but also in the original texts, and sometimes, in comic-books. They are Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edgar Allan Poe.
I've already done a lot of work on this blog related to Jules Verne, and still have a lot to go. I was initially hoping to exhaust anything Verne related before moving on, and possibly go on to H.G. Wells next... but I've decided to go with Poe instead. I don't think Poe gets as much respect in comics as the others, if only because his work consists of short stories and poems, rather than novels. For a lot of years, you just don't see many magazine covers focusing on Poe, unless it's a collection of several of his short stories in one place. But as I've discovered, there have been a LOT of Poe adaptations in comics... and I plan to take a look at as many of them as I can!
