Moby Dick

Published sporadically from 1985 onward by Hjemmet/Egmont, this single-issue comic adaptation distills Herman Melville’s classic novel through the lens of French artist Paul Gillon, with scripting by Jean Ollivier and Svein Erik Søland. Gillon’s bold, atmospheric linework brings the obsessive hunt for the white whale to vivid life, while the collaborative script condenses Melville’s epic into a taut, visually driven narrative. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive European interpretation of a literary cornerstone, showcasing how a master illustrator can transform a dense novel into a concentrated comics experience.
