ILLUSTRATIONS MAGICAL ENOUGH FOR BEAGLE
IDW freshly updated The Last Unicorn in 2011, transforming Beagle's beloved tale into a graphic novel that perfectly captures the whimsy and earnestness of the 1968 novel. After almost abandoning the project because none of the unicorn sketches felt magical enough, Renae De Liz proposed the unicorn that graces the cover––"the most beautiful creatures in all the world––and magic too." Working with comic book behemoth Peter B. Gillis, De Liz has captured each of our fantastical imaginations like we're reading The Last Unicorn for the first time again, materializing the scenes that lived in our minds for years.
This larger format deluxe edition includes an art gallery with concept sketches from the graphic novel; Beagle's short story, "Olfert Dapper's Day"; and Gillis' essay on adaptation. It is signed by Beagle on the ffep with beginnings of an abandoned inscription. From the personal collection of Beagle's former publisher, Connor Cochran.
