As someone who enjoys interpretations of existing stories and characters, such as Fables and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, both of which are superlatively brilliant, I am interested in knowing of other such stories.

And so I created this thread, in which we shall hopefully learn of other brilliant stories like the aforementioned ones.

The Arthurian cycle is pretty, ahem, legendary for that sort of thing. My personal favorite variation is Knight Life by (I think) Peter David.

Out of the Arthurian stuff, my favorite is The Once and Future King.

There's Camelot 3000, a classic, but very eighties superhero comic.

I love the imagination people get when adapting Homer. Embarrassingly enough, I can't think of the excellent adaptation of The Iliad I have seen, it is there.

And Scotland, PA is an adaptation of Macbeth the Bard would have loved.
