Gareth Hinds continues his graphic adaptations of ye olde tales from the ancient world, this time producing a truncated version of the war epic, The Iliad. And it’s not bad. I think the fact that the Brad Pitt movie Troy is still quite fresh in my mind took away some interest from the story. It’s a little wordy to read, which can’t be helped I suppose, so it’s not the swiftest read, and the art’s so-so. Still, a fine comics version of The Iliad.

The epic text of Homer is being adapted into a graphic novel. Though the dialogue and the descriptions almost remain the same, you also enjoy the art and the colors. The heroes, gods, and mortals all have their own narratives and the struggle between Achilles and Agamemnon is real. If you don't want to spend time reading the book, the graphic novel is also a great alternative.

As adaptations go, the Iliad by the hands of Gareth Hinds is incredible!

The illustration design, the faithfulness to the original of Homer. It's out of this world how much I enjoyed reviewing the story I know so well with the style of Hinds.

Nice colouring, nicely drawn characters, and a great story!
