Recenzii
As
a
piece
of
design,
this
book
is
as
charming
and
clever
as
nearly
everything
else
Chwast
touches.
TheFlash
Gordontrappings
suit
Homer
well.
In
Chwast's
hands,
THE
ODYSSEY
resembles
a
comic
strip
etched
across
the
top
of
a
Greek
temple.
THE ODYSSEY-particularly in Chwast's hands-is more of a rousing adventure tale, making this imaginative interpretation a genuinely fun read.
Chwast and Twain are a match made in heaven.
Seymour's take on this timeless classic is not only charming and clever, it is so cannily rendered that it makes Dante's complex masterwork easily understood for any reader. Divine.
With all due respect to Dante, this is Chwast'sDivine Comedy. [Chwast] makes theDivine Comedyirresistibly comic and inspirationally transcendent.
Famed artist and graphic designer Chwast has turned his talents to the graphic novel form for the first time, and we can all be happy about it.With his signature mix of humor, artistry, and high-level design, he conveys a breathtaking amount of information in clear black and white line drawings.Chwast does a stunning job of telling Dante's story in his own brilliant style.
Diabolically witty, devilishly expressive cartoon drawings.an accessible introduction toThe Divine Comedy- a sort of high-end, WHAM-POWCliff's Notes.. fiendishly entertaining.
