An absolute masterpiece. Whether or not you've read the original,
you will be pulled into this visually mind-blowing story that was
created with so much care and heart.
*Tillie Walden, creator of Clementine*
Watership Down is my favourite book, and I consider it to be one of
the very greatest books of all time.
*SF SAID, author of Varjak Paw and Tyger*
James Sturm and Joe Sutphin have managed to draw out the heart of
this classic, brilliantly adapting it into the graphic novel form.
A wonderful way for new readers to discover the story and for
hardened fans to reconnect with Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig, and the
gang.
*Joseph Coelho, Waterstones Children’s Laureate, 2022–2024*
An immersive, breathtaking visual experience that carries readers
through all the danger and beauty of this literary classic. Mark my
words: this version of Watership Down will be just as influential
as the original.
*Nate Powell, award-winning cartoonist of the March trilogy and
Save It for Later*
