Moby Dick

The obsessive and maddened fight of Captain Ahab against the great white whale is not only a classic of literature, but also one of the last great myths of the contemporary imagination. Bill Sienkiewicz, here at the peak of his artistic evolution, exalts his epic and symbolic breath by painting a descent into the abyss where heroism and madness end up hopelessly confused and vividly transmitting the dark tragedy that occurs when, to defeat evil, he succumbs before the same evil.
