Welcome to the official web presence of Keith Howell, sometimes known as "Prof. Challenger." This is the place to sample my wide-ranging art and writing. If you are looking to check out some art, just go to the Art Gallery where various themed galleries are available to scroll through. If you are looking to read through some of my writing work, just go to the Writing section where I'm in the process of adding links to a sampling of both fiction and nonfiction educational pieces, and some of my more "popular" excursions into comic book pop culture as Aint-It-Cool's "Prof. Challenger" and other stuff as I get to it. If you have any questions, want to share any comments, commission requests, or better yet...have a professional "business opportunity" you want to discuss, then hit the Contact Keith button or directly email me at khowell@profchallenger.com and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

 Having been told by young readers that they were bored by the "classics", Classical Comics set out to make the greatest works of literature as energetic and colorful as Spider-Man. With its new series of graphic novel adaptations of literary classics, the UK-based Classical Comics has succeeded in bringing them to life, with striking full-color artwork depicting the drama, emotion and action in an exciting, captivating way. With global literacy levels in schools, and among graduates, at an all time low, Classical Comics has devised a revolutionary three-tier dialogue approach as an invaluable classroom teaching tool. Each book is published in three versions: Original Text – the full, unabridged script; Plain Text – a modern English version of the original script; and Quick Text – with reduced, simplified dialogue for easier and faster I have enjoyed working with Classical Comics as a freelance writer/editor to provide US-specific English translations for the "Plain Text" and "Quick Text" versions (including the Teacher's Study Guides). It is very satisfying to play an active role in bringing Classical Comics' award-winning line of books to the States. My work on HENRY V and A CHRISTMAS CAROL are NOW AVAILABLE and I hope to do many more in the future.
