The Graphic Canon #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume in the ambitious Graphic Canon series adapts classic literary works from the Romantic and Victorian eras into comic form. Spanning from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan' through the Brontë sisters to Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, the collection features a diverse range of artists reimagining these canonical texts as sequential art.
In "Kubla Khan," Henry David Thoreau contemplates life by Walden Pond, reflecting on simplicity, honesty, and the personal journey of self-discovery. Written and illustrated by John Porcellino, this visually grounded story captures Thoreau’s philosophy with quiet precision. The cover, a collaborative effort by Huxley King and Terrence Boyce, complements the introspective tone of the narrative.
In this quiet, reflective tale from The Graphic Canon #2, Henry David Thoreau lives simply in a cabin by Walden Pond, contemplating nature, self-reliance, and the value of a life lived with intention. Through his observations and meditations, he invites readers to consider what it means to live honestly and deliberately—each on their own path.
