Balladen om magre Memed

Based on Yaşar Kemal's celebrated novel, this Swedish two-issue comic series from Carlsen/if adapts a powerful Turkish epic of rural resistance. With scriptwork by Kemal and Ingrid Emond, and stark, evocative art by İsmail Gülgeç, it brings the story of a defiant young outlaw to a new visual medium. Running from 1989 to 1990, the series stands as a notable European graphic adaptation of a modern literary classic.
