Homer's The Odyssey like you've never seen it - or read it - before! Classics in Graphics: The Odyssey has been adapted into a graphic novel by expert authors, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, with illustrations by Martin Bustamante. This series has inclusion at its heart, flinging wide the doors of literature for all to enter and understand. With dyslexia-friendly design for readers aged 10+; inclusive art so anyone can relate to iconic roles; snappy simplified text; introductory material to set the scene; heaps of material at the back, looking at the play's themes, language, publication, performance in history, a timeline of Shakespeare's life and works, and more! Praise for Classics in Graphics: "[...] an excellent job converting challenging language and literary themes to make it very inclusive, smoothing ease of understanding dialogue, plot, and narration without dumbing it down." - EricWilliamson, leagueofcomicgeeks.com

Steve Barlow (Author)
As 50% of the Two Steves, Steve Barlow has written over 160 books with Steve Skidmore since their first appeared in 1988. Born in Crewe, he was educated at Crewe Grammar School, Warwick University and Nottingham University before a varied career in teaching, acting, stage management and puppetry.

Martin Bustamante is an Argentinian illustrator and painter. He has shown a talent for drawing since age 3, inspired by films like Star Wars and books like Harold Foster's Prince Valiant. Through these films, Martin discovered new worlds full of colours, shapes and environments. This sparked his passion for drawing and painting, which continues to this day.
