How about this for a different approach in story-telling. Slate is running a graphic adaptation of the 9/11 report produced by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón. The graphic novel takes the 9/11 Commission Report and sets it to images.
The result is striking but it does make me feel slightly uneasy.
Is this an effective way of making the 9/11 report accessible to a wider audience or does is it turning a series of tragic events into entertainment? Perhaps it is a bit of both.
The book is dedicated to those who lost their lives on 9/11 and goes on to say: “We hope this book can help the rest of us to understand better what happened that day in the years leading up to it.”
UPDATE: Slate also has available an interview with the artists.
