Masterpiece Comics

Since 2009, R. Sikoryak has been the sole creator of Masterpiece Comics, a single-issue series from Drawn & Quarterly that reimagines classic literature through the visual language of iconic comic strips and newspaper cartoons. Sikoryak adapts works like Moby-Dick and The Metamorphosis into the styles of artists from Peanuts to Krazy Kat, creating a clever collision of high and low culture. This series matters as a unique, ongoing tribute to the enduring power of both literary classics and the comic medium itself.
