The Waste Land by Martin Rowson
Marlowe, searching for his dead partner's killers, is lured into a web of murder, deceit, lust, despair, and, of course, a frantic quest for the Holy Grail. Doped, pistol-whipped, framed by the cops, and going nowhere fast, Marlowe enters a nightmare world where Robert Frost, Norman Mailer, and Edmund Wilson drink in the gloom of a London pub.
"The Waste Land by Martin Rowson, a comic strip version of the poem.. is far funnier and perhaps more genuinely learned than the original." (Peter Ackroyd, Times (UK)) "Irresistibly funny.... Martin Rowson has produced not only a first-rate comic book but also an acute critical commentary, footnotes and all. His book is a marvel of sly scholarship and invention." (Village Voice)"
