Great Marketing Failures Of Our Time (2)

happened when a major publisher
tried to get written and released
a new version of  'Mein Kampf'
by Adolf Hitler', as a graphic novel.

Quite apart from how the ideas
about divisions between the races
had already been elequently expressed
-albeit from the opposite point of view,
it proved as impossible to get the pictures
to match Hitlers tortured sentence structure
and syntax, which ruined his joke telling skills.

They also had to abandon efforts to visualise
his incohate and incoherent economic policy
which was the daddy of all modern kleptocracies
and had proved to be unworkable, long term.
