Book 14 of 2025

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin (graphic novel adapted by Fred Fordham)

4.75 stars

Earthsea is such a masterpiece that means so much to me, so I was skeptical at first. But it was an immediate green flag that Le Guin's son initially reached out to Fordham because he loved his work and wanted to see his mother's works adapted as a graphic novel.

This is so gorgeous, absolutely stunning illustrations with soft, cinematic lighting and sparse text. It's basically long sequences of evocative, painterly images with an occasional direct quotation lifted from the original book. It genuinely made me view and love this story in a new way. I really hope Fordham keeps adapting the rest of the Earthsea books, because I want to keep returning to his version of Le Guin's world.

#JackKatz, 1927-2025

#Artist/ #Writer Jack Katz, whose ambitious #ndyComic epic, #TheFirstKingdom, laid the groundwork in the 1970s for #LongformGraphicNarratives like #Cerebus, died April 24 at the age of 97. If he had not published that #ScienceFantasy saga, it’s likely that Katz would have been regarded as just a journeyman #Illustrator, who tried — with little success — to make a living in comics. As it is, he will be remembered for his attempt, during the waning days of #UndergroundComics, to put out one of the first self-published #graphicnovels
