Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn em to ashes, then burn the ashes. For Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are forbidden. In 1953, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the worlds most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451, the artist Tim Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur with Bradburys full cooperation in this authorized adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that uniquely captures Montags awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature.
