The Waste Land

A single-issue graphic novel adaptation of T.S. Eliot’s modernist poem, The Waste Land was published by HarperCollins in 1990. Created by a team of artists and writers, this comic translates the dense, fragmented verse into a visual narrative, offering a unique entry point into a landmark of 20th-century literature. Its significance lies in being an early, ambitious attempt to render a notoriously difficult poem in sequential art, showcasing the medium's capacity for literary adaptation.
