Megillat Esther

J. T. Waldman adapts the biblical Book of Esther into a graphic novel for the Jewish Publication Society, reimagining the Purim story in a lush, illuminated comic format. Published in 2005 as a single, self-contained issue, this work stands out for its intricate, calligraphic art style and scholarly approach to the sacred text. It matters as a landmark in Jewish comics, blending traditional religious narrative with the visual language of sequential art.
