I didn't get that impression. I got 'they're dumbing down a classic with pitchers!' but maybe that says more about me than anything.
Anywho:

And of course that's what they're doing.
But to me, the graphic novel is just another adaptation of her book. Like the movie was. That's less of an insult than publishing Go Set A Watchman or (good Lord!) turning locations around town into tourist attractions.
Having said all that, in the end: too bad. You can't control the world from beyond the grave. They can publish every failed book she has tucked away in a drawer or turn To Kill A Mockingbird into an anime series. In the end, the novel will remain a landmark and really, that's all that can be asked.
