Gentle Readers: Jane Austen has inspired many people to comment on her novels, including comic artists. The recent Jane Austen/Monster Mash Ups provide a fertile field for visual satire. Jane Bites Back and other mash-ups are the inspiration for “Austen’s Revenge” by Liz Wong. (Click on images to enlarge them.)
A comic inspired by the recent Jane Austen Paranormal trend (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monters, Jane Bites Back, The Immortal Jane Austen, Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, Mr. Darcy’s Hunger… yes, these are all actual published books…).
This is Jane’s revenge for taking such liberties with her work.
The ever popular Kate Beaton is well known for her historical satires, and I have showcased her work before. Most recently she jumped on the monster mash-up bandwagon! I must say that these are pretty funny.
Don’t forget that a new Sense and Sensibility graphic novel will be released by Marvel Comics on May 26th! Sonny Liew drew the illustrations for this new graphic treatment of Marianne and Elinor Dashwood’s story.
Read an interview with Nancy Butler, the master mind behind this comic and Pride and Prejudice, which was published last year and became a huge hit.

Too funny Vic. Thank goodness for Janeite’s sense of humor. It does appear that the monster literary mash-up trend is attacking the Bronte’s right now, so Jane has been give a slight repreave. Only slight.
Very funny! I think Jane smiles on us when we refuse these books….
Ha Ha.. I love it where Jane is given up on her ‘mash up’ fans and started to drink!
Hehe! These are great!
I wasn’t sure if you already knew already, but Pride and Prejudice is at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival this season!
Yay! Mr. Darcy and time machine. Love it.

Somehow I can’t like this sort of thing.
I think it is because the important feature of Jane Austen’s genius is words, not pictures.
Those cartoons were good.
Those comics are funny and clever! I’m always surprised to see how many things Jane can inspire to all kinds of artists!and such a long time after having existed! noone esle, I think , has incited such a thing!
hahaha, this is soo funny!!
I don’t understand why the idiots above can laugh at them. They aren’t funny but are thoroughly offensive to Jane Austen, and a true fan of her (as you CLAIM to be) should be against these instead of sharing them with the world.
