Moby Dick

Pendulum Press launched this 1973 comic adaptation of Herman Melville’s classic novel, with the story condensed by Irwin Shapiro and brought to vivid, moody life by the distinctive brushwork of Filipino artist Alex Niño. As a single-issue entry in Pendulum’s line of illustrated literary classics, it offers a visually striking gateway to the epic tale of Captain Ahab’s obsessive hunt for the white whale. Though brief, it stands as a notable early showcase of Niño’s atmospheric style, making it a memorable artifact of 1970s comic-book literary adaptations.
