Read Gods' Man: A Novel in Woodcuts Comic Online

The most important work of American artist and illustrator Lynd Ward, Gods'' Man is a powerfully evocative novel, told entirely through woodcuts. Ward (1905–85), in employing the concept of the wordless pictorial narrative, acknowledged his predecessors the European artists Frans Masereel and Otto Nückel. Released the week of the 1929 stock market crash, Gods'' Man was the first of six woodcut novels that Ward produced over the next eight years. It presents the artist''s struggles in a world characterized by both innocence and corruptions and can be considered a forerunner of the contemporary graphic novel, popularized by artists such as Daniel Clowes.
