This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Macbeth's murder of Duncan; Henry V at Agincourt; Hamlet's wild stabbing of Polonius. All pretty graphic stuff – and never more so than now, as Bill's finest have been given a pictorial make-over by Classical Comics (www.classical comics.com). Graphic novels are enjoying a surge in interest, and Shakespeare isn't the only one benefiting.
The Bible itself has been illustrated in a Manga style by former Marvel Comics man Ajinbayo Akinsiku (www.themanga bible.com). Turning Christ into a comic-book superhero has proved popular, with 30,000 copies already sold in Britain.
And the events of 9/11 are being given a visual retelling in a comic-strip version of Howard Zinn's A People's History of American Empire (www.amazon.co.uk), bringing home the impact of the day.
