Here we are at the twentieth century, if you have followed us from a previous volume of the graphic canon. You’ll see that we’re going chronologically, with comics artists, illustrators, and a few other types of artists adapting the great works of literature from the epic of Gilgamesh to the end of the 1700s in volume 1, then the entire nineteenth century in volume 2. If this is your first volume, rest assured that it’s the perfect place to begin, a self contained visual trip through the literature of the twentieth century.
