Megillat Esther #[nn]
This volume presents the biblical Book of Esther as a graphic novel, illustrated by J.T. Waldman with an introduction by Larry Gonick. Published by the Jewish Publication Society in 2005, it adapts the Purim story in a single, self-contained edition, blending traditional text with sequential art. The collection stands as a unique entry in graphic literature, offering a visual retelling of the Megillah without serialized issues or additional story arcs.
A striking visual adaptation of Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin 99b, this issue tells the poignant story of Timna, a princess of Hor who longs to join the tribe of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—only to be turned away. Through powerful imagery by J. T. Waldman, whose art and Hebrew calligraphy bring ancient text to life, and English lettering by Elisha Solmes, the narrative explores themes of belonging, rejection, and consequence.
A bold, bilingual comic retelling of the Book of Esther, rendered with striking visual storytelling by J. T. Waldman, who handles script, art, and Hebrew calligraphy. Seamlessly weaving the complete Hebrew text with English translation, it enriches the narrative with midrashic interludes—like a surreal game show montage—offering fresh, imaginative glimpses into the story’s deeper layers.
