Julian Peters' adaptation of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, particularly "The Burial of the Dead," compellingly captures its vivid imagery and complex themes through a graphic interpretation.
The adaptation opens in a First World War battlefield, where the phrase "April is the cruelest month" is placed against nightmarish imagery of bloodshed, resonating with the poem's original desolation.
Peters' graphic rendition revitalizes Eliot's dense and challenging work, illustrating the moody landscapes and haunting characters that are pivotal to understanding the essence of The Waste Land.
This comic-book adaptation challenges readers to engage with modernist themes and reflects on personal interpretation amidst a backdrop of historical trauma and cultural memory.
