James Joyce's Ulysses Adapted as Free Online Graphic Novel

Throwaway Horse, LLC, has adapted Ulysses by James Joyce in to a free, online serialized graphic novel.

Two words - it's awesome. Ulysses "Seen" comes with a reader's guide, pop-up English translations, dramatis personae, Q&A and discussion threads. The original artwork for this Uylsses adaptation is also amazing.

Again, what I absolutely love about classic literature being reborn as graphic novels is the accessibility and relevancy for today's youth. When I see my kids reading William Shakespeare in manga form (with original text), I jump for joy! Now with Ulysses "Seen", they can build that foundation of understanding Joyce.

Enjoy!
