by Andrew Winegarner

With all the graphic adaptations of mythology flying around, it’s about time someone got to old Gilgamesh. The Mesopotamian culture that bore the first heroic narrative in recorded history may not be as flashy as, say, the Greeks’, but Winegarner’s adaptation demonstrates the extensive debt mythology and religion owe this ancient tale... older teens and adults can enjoy it as a mythological adventure with a strong historical background. — Booklist
