Graphic Novel 1821

The goal of the project is the creation of a graphic novel inspired by the Greek Revolution. Its timeline will cover the entire period of the Greek Revolution, up until the early years of the arrival of the Bavarian king Otto. It is a volume of more than 600 pages, with black-and-white illustrations. The largest comic work in Greece to date combines systematic scientific, historical research with artistic representation, resulting in an innovative reading experience for its subject matter. Despite the multiple layers of meaning and numerous references to both the historical period and contemporary life, the script aims to be accessible to readers of all ages, young and old alike. In this way, the reader will have the opportunity to discover documents and authentic texts from a wide range of key figures—klephts and armatoloi, Phanariots, kotsabasis, revolutionaries, philhellenes, etc.—through a "literary" narrative, assisted by the illustrations and images of the graphic novel.
