Histoire de Don Quichotte

A monumental French publishing endeavor, Histoire de Don Quichotte is a single, lavish comic volume from Garnier Frères that adapts Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel for a new audience. First released in 1922 and still referenced today, this work is most associated with the refined illustrative style of artist and writer A. Robida, who both scripted and drew the entire story. Its significance lies in being an early, ambitious European graphic novel that treats literary adaptation with the full artistic seriousness of a fine art book.
