| Read all of award-winning Gareth Hinds's stunning graphic novel adaptations! | More than three thousand years ago, two armies faced each other in an epic battle that rewrote history and came to be known as the Trojan War. Renowned illustrator Gareth Hinds masterfully adapts Homer’s classic wartime epic. | Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. | A New York Times bestseller! When Romeo and Juliet first meet, they don’t know they’re from rival families — and when they find out, they don’t care. How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together? |

| At the urging of his wife, Macbeth resolves to take the throne by the most direct path: a dagger in the heart of King Duncan. But is Macbeth prepared to commit more murders to keep the crown? Hinds brings Shakespeare's classic tragedy to life. | Grendel’s black blood runs thick as Beowulf defeats the monster and his hideous mother, while somber hues overcast the hero’s final, fatal battle against a raging dragon. Beowulf’s heroic saga finds a true home in this graphic-novel edition. | In a thrilling adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known works, Hinds translates Poe's dark genius into graphic-novel format. The seven graphic narratives amplify and honor the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror. Ideal for Halloween! |

Absolutely stunning. A masterpiece.
Gareth Hinds has successfully captured the essence of The Iliad, and arguably even more impressive, at the same time made the story accessible to a much larger audience than ever before. On top of this, the story retains it's artistry, so the reader is treated to a high quality retelling, which while using basic English, does not condescend to the reader.Mr. Hind's works are excellent for teaching these stories to English learning students in ELA classes, or in ESL classes. They would even benefit a reader who is reading a translation of the original text, who may be unfamiliar with the history, or the conventions of literature of Antiquity.Even the illustration clearly involved careful consideration and attention to detail, and walks a balance between accuracy to the text and historical context, and assisting the reader to visualize the action. For example, in the interest of allowing the reader to more easily recognize major characters, the first letter of their name is cleverly and subtly worked into the character's armor or vestments. Also, all of the Greeks wear read, while the Trojans are all clad in blue.It is hard to overstate the value of this master work by Hinds. There is no reader of the Iliad who cannot appreciate the deep level of respect with which Hinds has treated Homer's epic.
