The Silver Pony #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis wordless graphic novel by Lynd Ward tells the story of a lonely farm boy who discovers a winged pony, leading to a series of fantastical adventures. Originally published in 1973, the book uses Ward's signature woodcut-style illustrations to convey its narrative without text. This edition collects the complete story as a single volume from Houghton Mifflin.
In "1," Lynd Ward’s hauntingly drawn story follows a boy who, in the quiet of night, mounts a flying silver pony and soars beyond the stars—only to find the heavens filled with the cold machinery of war. As satellites, missiles, and bombs loom in the sky, the boy’s journey takes a sudden, dramatic turn, leaving him falling back toward Earth. The issue, a striking early work by Lynd Ward, features his distinctive woodcut-style art and a quiet, powerful narrative that lingers long after the final page.
In a quiet moment between chores, a boy’s imagination takes flight when a winged silver pony descends on the farm. He races to tell his father, only to be met with a stern reprimand when the creature vanishes—leaving the boy to wonder if it was real or just a dream.
In a quiet moment between chores, a boy is sent to pick apples—until the Silver Pony returns, beckoning him to ride across distant lands. With the world unfolding beneath them, he glimpses laborers toiling and an Eskimo boy hunting seals, each moment marked by a fleeting gift: an apple tossed from a distant tree.
In a haunting tale from The Silver Pony, a boy and the Silver Pony soar above a land ravaged by flood, their journey taking them to a roof where a black child clings to safety. With the help of a rowboat, the child escapes the rising waters and begins a quiet, determined quest to save others.
In a quiet, sun-drenched world, a boy with a gift for flight carries sunflowers across the landscape, sharing them with a city girl on a rooftop and a girl in a lighthouse. Each gesture is a quiet mystery, a fleeting connection woven through the sky.
In this quiet, evocative tale from The Silver Pony, a young boy rides the Silver Pony across the American Southwest, where they encounter a Navajo shepherd boy desperately searching for a lost lamb. When a mountain lion threatens the animal, the boy on the Silver Pony acts swiftly, rescuing the lamb and returning it to its worried keeper.
In this dreamlike fantasy, a boy in his pajamas climbs onto the back of the Silver Pony and soars into the night, chasing the moon beyond the stars. But as they near the edge of space, the sky erupts with satellites, missiles, and bombs—suddenly, the Silver Pony is torn from the sky, and the boy plummets back toward Earth.
In a quiet moment between dusk and dawn, a boy wakes to find his world transformed—his parents frantic, the doctor at the door, and the night holding secrets only a wild appaloosa foal can reveal. With no reins, no saddle, and a bond forged in silence, the boy and his new pony vanish into the open fields, chasing a freedom that feels both new and long forgotten.
