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

He graduated from Animation and Video games in CEV Barcelona in 2016 and later from illustration in Escola Joso in 2019. Edu then embarked on his career as a professional illustrator.
