The Odyssey in graphic-novel form

This adaptation brings Homer’s epic into a graphic-novel format, pairing Martin Bustamante’s illustrations with simplified text and introductory material to establish the story’s context. The publisher describes the design as dyslexia-friendly and the artwork as inclusive. Back matter broadens the reading experience with material on the work’s themes, language, publication and performance history, along with a timeline of Shakespeare’s life and works. (That final detail appears in the supplied description, although it refers to Shakespeare rather than Homer.)

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults exploring a classic epic through comics and graphic novels.
  • Readers who value dyslexia-friendly design, simplified text and introductory context.
  • Readers interested in additional material on a literary work’s themes and history.
