Kirkus Review
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation
Tim Hamilton
Hill and Wang/Farrar, Straus and Giroux / August / 9780809051007 / $30.00
For the first time, readers will experience the visual spectacle of Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel, boldly illustrated by
Tim Hamilton (Treasure Island: The Graphic Novel, 2005, etc.). With a stamp of approval from Bradbury, who wrote
the introduction, Hamilton creates an eerie adaptation with a dramatic use of color that makes flames leap off the page.
“I’ve loved Bradbury since I first read A Sound of Thunder in seventh grade,” says Hamilton. “I wanted to adapt
Fahrenheit 451 as a modern-day fable, so I avoided using that ‘hyper-real’ look that’s popular in comics today. The story
takes place in an unnamed city and an unknown time period, so I wanted the art to reflect that ambiguity.” While
Hamilton is justifiably proud of his achievement, he also hopes the book will bring readers full-circle to Bradbury’s
body of work. “For all the hoopla about this book, I can’t improve on Ray’s story,” he says. “This is a different
animal. I hope that if younger people read this book as their first taste of Bradbury, they will seek out his other works
too. I hope they’ll take away what art and literature, in all its forms, have to offer.”

Why this?
People seem to be leaving Livejournal for Face book and Twitter where you can only post what you’re watching, having for dinner and in my case, Breakfast.
I’ve noticed that the slow and steady internet standby is …blogger. A place, unlike twitter and Face Book where I can post art and type as much B.S. as I see fit.
My fist post is just a place holder and general “yay, I have an art blog!” post.
I’ll simply remind anyone reading, that a preview of my adaptation of “Fahrenheit 451” will be featured in the June issue of Playboy.
It'll hit the stands around June 15th so I am told.
In the future…I’ll have more to say.
