Megillat Esther by J.T. Waldman

4.0

I picked this up after Waldman's contribution to Harvey Pekar's Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me. This is a scholarly and graphic review of the Esther story, beautifully rendered and rigorously sourced. I can't imagine there are too many other works out there that include in their bibliography works by both Adin Steinsaltz and Scott McCloud. I have a deep fondness for the cinematic drama of the Purim story and this was a fantastic telling with a literal twist in the middle.
