Arguably the oldest work of literature in the western world, The Epic of Gilgamesh is fittingly the first title in The Graphic Canon Presents series, an exploration of longer-form work associated with Russ Kick's successful anthologies. Translated into English and presented here in its entirety as a graphic novel, this version of The Epic of Gilgamesh is a father/son project by scholar and translator Kent H. Dixon and his son, the comix artist Kevin Dixon, who bring a fresh take on this great work.
