Goliath (2012) is a graphic novel by Tom Gauld, published by Drawn & Quarterly. [1] It is Gauld's first long-form book. [2]

Contents

The book is a retelling of the biblical story of the warrior Goliath. [1]

Development

Gauld wrote a story about the biblical figure of Noah in Kramers Ergot, issue 7 (2008). According to Gauld, it "was one of the things which led [him] to do Goliath." [2]

The longer format of Goliath—compared to the author's previous work—made the book more challenging to work on, according to Gauld. [2]
