30 odd years ago.
If so, I'd forgotten how The Iliad actually ends, with the death of burial of Hector, Prince of Troy instead of the Wooden Horse and sacking of the city that many readers are probably more familiar with.
This is a graphic novel adaptation of the story, as told in The Iliad and thus ends at the same point - which, I had to say, actually took me by surprise somewhat! (Not Hector's death - I was expecting that! - but that the story ended there).
I can see this being a more attractive read that the original text to any who are not in the mood for, effectively, a 'heavy' meal.

This a bind up of the first 5 comics in the series
First off I am not gonna lie, this wasn’t as good as I anticipated but does get better throughout. I really didn’t like the retro artwork that was going on, I felt that the artwork needed to be more sombre for this storyline. There is a lot of nudity in this book, like constantly and I really don’t think it was that necessary. I am not a prude but there was literally, tits, ass and vagina’s on every page
This graphic novel deals with several topics such as feminism, oppression, racism and voyeurism (lot’s of ism’s I know) so this book is not going to be for everyone. I liked the fact that not every women in this book had a bikini body, there were characters such as Penny that were bigger ladies and proud of it. There was also background information to why these women were on Bitch Planet, which helped with character development. The important message that is coming across in this graphic novel is that all women should be themselves and not to give a damn about other people’s opinions.I think the storyline is getting better as you get towards the end of this bind up and would be definitely interested in reading more
I had trouble with the layout as provided to me via Netgalley, it took the experience away from me and I would probably enjoyed it more in a physical format.
Overall I gave this 3 out of 5 stars.
