Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The 9/11 Report for every American. On December 5, 2005, the 9/11 Commission issued its final report card on the government's fulfillment of the recommendations issued in July 2004: one A, twelve Bs, nine Cs, twelve Ds, three Fs, and four incompletes. Here is stunning evidence that Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón, with more than sixty years of experience in the comic-book industry between them, were right: far, far too few Americans have read, grasped, and demanded action on the Commission's investigation into the events of that tragic day and the lessons America must learn. Using every skill and storytelling method Jacobson and Colón have learned over the decades, they have produced the most accessible version of the 9/11 Report. Jacobson's text frequently follows word for word the original report, faithfully captures its investigative thoroughness, and covers its entire scope, even including the Commission's final report card. Colón’s stunning artwork powerfully conveys the facts, insights, and urgency of the original. Published on the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, an event that has left no aspect of American foreign or domestic policy untouched, The 9/11 Report puts at every American's fingertips the most defining event of the century. Review:"All told, a thoughtful — and by no means dumbed-down-approach to events still very current." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Though everyone who worked on this comic (medium, not tone) version deserves credit for working to democratize a text that is as important as it is dense, the effort ultimately falls flat...." Denver Post Review:"Jacobson and Colon's treatment is laudable. Their 'graphic adaptation' of a dry, wordy document...is sure to reach many who never checked out the original.... Review:"The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation manages at once to be accessible and intelligent, and marks an important publishing experiment." Houston Chronicle About the AuthorSid Jacobson was the managing editor and editor in chief for Harvey Comics, where he created Richie Rich, and executive editor at Marvel Comics.
