Storyteller Without Words: The Wood Engravings of Lynd Ward

A singular, ongoing tribute to the pioneering graphic novelist Lynd Ward, this 1974 volume from Harry N. Abrams collects his wordless woodcut novels, showcasing the stark, powerful storytelling he achieved through sequential art. Ward is both the writer and artist, his intricate engravings forming a silent but deeply expressive narrative language that predates and influences modern comics. Though a single issue, its lasting publication matters as a definitive archive of a master craftsman whose work bridges fine art and the graphic novel tradition.
