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

4.0

Excellent! I was very impressed by the range of stories that move beyond the "Western Canon" and acknowledge not only a variety of cultures but also the range of gender, both in the retelling of the stories and in the work's choice of artists. I do wish some of the stories had moved beyond simple character panels to dive more into the stories, but appreciate what the collection tries to achieve nonetheless.
