SUNDIATA, A Legend of Africa
Will EISNER
In this tale from the land of Mali, the ruler Sumanguru cannot satisfy his ambition enough. When he encounters the Gray Rock of Evil, his powers are multiplied manifold.

MOBY DICK
By Will EISNER
Adapted from Herman Melville
The third in Will Eisner’s series of adaptations of the classics. The story of a dangerously obsessed man. Obsessed with seeking vengeance against a great white whale that pushes him and his reluctant crew in a quest across the seven seas. Obsessed with pitching his boat against a formidable beast against all odds and oblivious to the great risk to life and limb. Fully painted by Will Eisner. Seen for the first time in the USA.
"True to Herman Melville's classic. The cartoon panels that chronicle the final showdown between the captain and the giant fish are particularly spectacular."-Publishers Weekly
"It's a pleasant, refreshing marriage of old story and "new" format."-Booklist
"Highly likely to interest young readers who are not quite ready for the entire saga." -Book Links

THE LAST KNIGHT
An introduction to Don Quixote
Will Eisner • Miguel de Cervantes
After the Princess & the Frog, comics great Will Eisner continues his series of adaptations of classic tales with this charming and delightfully humorful rendition of Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote. Quixote was quite a gentleman, man of honor and idealist, even if he did have a couple of cards short of a complete deck, attacking windmills as the enemy. It is his selflessness and gallantry that make the Man of La Mancha a legend as retold to us by his faithful friend and servant Sancho Panza. A touching story in beautiful color now available as a “graphic novel picture book” hardcover and in a signed and numbered edition.
"This version is much more than a great introduction to a classic: it stands on its own, with the power to entertain and inspire young readers."
