About the Book

A graphic novel version of Allen Ginsberg’s legendary poem

First published in 1956, Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" is a prophetic masterpiece—an epic raging against dehumanizing society that overcame censorship trials and obscenity charges to become one of the most widely read poems of the century.

When it became a major motion picture directed by two-time Academy Award-winners Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman, the two directors hired Eric Drooker to animate the poem. Howl: A Graphic Novel visualizes the poem–stanza by stanza—with full color animation art Drooker designed for the film. 

The gorgeous art book has French flaps and spot gloss on cover, making it the perfect gift book.
