About
For more than twenty years, Megillat Esther has remained the gold standard for what an illustrated book of the Bible can be. Long out of print, this new full-color edition enhances the black-and-white original and brings the graphic tale to a new generation of readers.
Megillat Esther brings emotional brilliance to this age-old story, interspersing its narrative with a hidden backstory connecting it to larger tales. A modern illuminated manuscript, this expanded edition adds new layers of delight and depth to each and every page.
JT Waldman is a bicentennial-baby born, raised, and residing in Philadelphia, PA. He is known for his scholarly and unconventional take on Jewish visual history and folklore through the medium of comix.
