1. Goliath
Set in the ancient biblical landscape, this graphic novel offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale of David and Goliath by focusing on the giant's side of the story. The narrative follows the gentle and introspective Goliath, who is more comfortable with administrative tasks than warfare, as he is reluctantly thrust into the role of a fearsome warrior. Through minimalist illustrations and dry humor, the story explores themes of misunderstanding, the absurdity of war, and the humanization of a legendary figure often portrayed as a villain.
