About the book
Homer’s immortal epic poem is my most popular graphic novel. It retells the complete story of Odysseus’ adventures in 250 pages of fully-painted art. The text is my own adaptation, based on several different translations. As with all of my adaptations, it remains extremely faithful to the original text.
