The Odyssey

A single-issue adaptation published by Pendulum Press in 1979, The Odyssey condenses Homer’s epic poem into a comic format, with John Norwood Fago handling the script and Nestor Redondo providing the artwork. As part of Pendulum’s Illustrated Classics line, it aimed to make ancient literature accessible to a new generation through sequential art. Redondo’s lush, atmospheric illustrations bring the hero’s journey to life, making this a notable entry in the tradition of literary comic adaptations.
