Teleny and Camille | 
pickExcellent adaptation to a graphic novel. Macy retains the Victorian era language. Coupled with his drawings, the story takes on a modern feel in a historical setting. The reader remains aware of the times in which this daring story of homosexual love was written. I can only imagine the illicit thrill of penning Teleny in the 1890s; it edges beyond the erotic to pornographic even by today's standards.
