The Great Escape

Philippe Dupasquier wrote and illustrated this single-issue graphic novel for Walker Books, a wordless adventure that follows a boy’s imaginative escape from the mundane into a vibrant, action-packed fantasy world. Published in 1988, the story unfolds entirely through detailed, sequential art, inviting readers to decode the narrative visually. It stands as a notable example of a silent comic, showcasing the power of visual storytelling without dialogue.
