I think Anne would have been tickled. After all, she was just a kid, and wrote in the Diary how much she loved movie magazines!

3. Mixed Feelings

Hopefully this will allow her story to reach an broader audience and perhaps even a new audience. The message of the Holocaust must not be lost. There is a side of me, however, that cringes when considering such serious content being transformed into a graphic novel. "Maus" was excellent, but the medium still seems to trivialize the message. I hope this does not happen to Anne Frank's life and the story of the Holocaust.
4. #2 - It isn't a comic book...

it is a graphic novel. If you have never seen one, please go into any bookstore and have a look. They are more like the story boards that go with the script of a movie -- not the "Classics Comics" of the 50s and 60s.
5. to #4 doesn't atter people and children

r not retarted that they can't imgin thigs, you turn people to zombies by rule out any imgination, photos r acceptable but not drawings, unrealistic pictures taint and most likely don't do justic with the original true naratiive.
