Book Synopsis

An all-new faithful and beautifully illustrated graphic novel adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, The Great Gatsby. Adapted by Ted Adams (The Island of Doctor Moreau) and illustrated by Jorge Coelho (Loki, Rocket Raccoon). Whether you already love the book or are experiencing it for the first time, we've got you covered. It's all here, the roaring '20s in all its glory --the decadent parties, the gangsters, the car crashes, the love triangle, and so much more. Young and old can appreciate the dedication of veteran comic creators, Adams and Coelho, as they adapt this American classic story into the classic American art form of comics. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Review Quotes

"Where many adaptations of classic literature may fail to capture the
inner light of its source, this adaptation somehow finds a way to distill that light, to capture just the right moments and just the right smirking humor without capsizing under the novel's whole."

"Captivating and visually stunning--a fresh take on the timeless classic." --Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Creatures & Teen Titans: Raven--Kami Garcia "Author"

"Adams and Coelho's The Great Gatsby is a richly illustrated and beautifully presented body of work. Using all the advantages of the medium, with meticulous linework and colour by Coelho, it's one of the most elegantly adapted graphic novels I've ever read."
Declan Shalvey -Old Dog, Alien, Time Before Time--Declan Shalvey "Author"

"At first I wanted to celebrate this new Gatsby in the same vein as Classics illustrated, but it's actually better than that. It's not just a retelling of Gatsby or an overview, but a very strong representation of the original story with sprinkling of the films as well. A home run adaptation!" -- Brian Michael Bendis, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Powers, Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man
