Hinds, Gareth
2 Reviews

YA
Graphic novelist Hinds tackles the work of Edgar Allan Poe, adapting three poems and four stories. Each entry's title page lists pertinent themes and tropes. Hinds's adaptations lean heavily on the original language with an eye toward accessibility. Varied illustrations are a good match for Poe's atmospheric blend of horror and mystery, and color and striking imagery are used to great effect.

YA
Citing classic translations of The Odyssey as sources, Hinds retells Homer's epic in pictures plus a judicious minimum of words, sticking to the original intricate, twenty-four-chapter order. Brief as the text of this graphic version is, it makes an accessible and effective complement to the dramatic pencil and watercolor art that explicates and interprets the story. A worthy companion to great predecessors.
