The Odyssey

Coming in October 2010 from Candlewick Press!



Homer's immortal epic poem is the subject of my new graphic novel. This is my most ambitious project ever, comprising almost 250 pages of fully-painted art. The text is my own adaptation, based on several different translations. You can follow the book's progress on my blog (click the "Odyssey" tag), on my Twitter page, or on Facebook, where I have started both a fan page and an Odyssey group.
