I was looking in the graphic novel section of Waterstones the other day. I was surprised to see someone had done a graphic novel version of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. That must have been a labour of love because I don't reckon they'll make much money from it. I have read the original version. It's about a bunch of painter-decorators in the early 1900s, struggling to make ends meet. It's a left wing tract. It was pretty good, really, but it was too long.
