About the series
Marvel’s 2012-2013 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey brings the beloved Gothic parody to comics in a five-issue limited series. Scripted by Nancy Butler with art by Janet K. Lee, this faithful graphic retelling captures the romantic misadventures of young Catherine Morland, who lets her obsession with sensational novels cloud her judgment in Regency-era Bath. A standout entry in Marvel’s line of Austen adaptations, it showcases Lee’s delicate, watercolor-style artwork and Butler’s sharp, witty dialogue.
