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

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

Development

[edit]

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]
