Pride & Prejudice #[nn]

Marvel's 2009 adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved novel gets a wonderfully clever cover treatment by Sonny Liew, who presents Elizabeth Bennet as the poised, dark-haired cover star of a faux women's magazine — complete with teasing headlines like "Who Is Mr. Darcy?" and "Lizzy on Love, Loss, and Living." The magazine-parody format perfectly captures the social wit at the heart of Austen's world, and Liew's clean, stylized illustration gives the whole thing a fresh, contemporary energy that makes this hardcover collection ($19.99) feel like anything but a dusty classic.
