A review by sarahbotreads
The Graphic Canon, Volume 1: From the Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare to Dangerous Liaisons by Russ Kick

4.0

When it comes to informed appreciation, visual / sequential art is one of my weak spots - I haven't invested a lot of time in really learning about these arts so that I can see more than pretty pictures or striking imagery. That said, some of the illustrations/ representations in his book were *breathtaking* - not every story's adaptation was my cup of tea, style-wise, but so many of them were just amazing. I also really appreciated the breadth of cultures that were represented.
