The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Hunt Emerson brings Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem to vivid, anarchic life in this single-issue graphic novel from Knockabout, first released in 1989. Emerson's signature cartooning style transforms the mariner's supernatural voyage into a rollicking visual experience, balancing the poem's dark moral weight with a lively, irreverent energy. A standout example of literary adaptation in British alternative comics, it remains a cult favorite for its bold, singular vision.
