Classics Illustrated #10: Cyrano de Bergerac

This adaptation of the classic *Cyrano de Bergerac* by celebrated graphic novelist Kyle Baker and writer Peter David presents the tragedy and romance of Rostand's 17th century romance story. Cyrano de Bergerac yearns to confess his love to his cousin Roxanne; he is a talented poet and musician who should have no trouble doing so. Yet his large nose has convinced him that no woman would ever be interested in him. When Cyrano finds that Roxanne is enamored with the handsome Christian de Neuvillette, he offers to use his poetic prowess to help Christian win Roxanne's heart. As the three's lives intertwine throughout the years, Rostand spins a tale of romance and heartbreak that is wonderfully captured by Peter David and Kyle Baker.
