Description

MeZolith is a graphic novel for older children and adults, written by a leading oral storyteller, with extraordinarily immersive illustrations by one of Britain's top film concept artists. It imagines a year in the life of Poika - a Mesolithic boy on the cusp of adulthood. Set in what is now North East Yorkshire, 10,000 years ago before Britain became an island, stories of a small tribe's daily struggle for survival are interwoven with some of humankind's most ancient myths, fairytales and legends. Grounded in detailed archaeological research, this is a book of action and adventure, horror and romance, magic and beauty. MeZolith was one of The Times's Graphic Novels of the Year in 2010.

Author Info

Ben Haggarty is a teller of traditional tales – famous for dynamic performances and vivid composition. He holds in his mind a repertoire of over 350 carefully researched, repaired, recombined and recreated folktales, fairy tales and myths; some are 3 minutes long, some are 3 hours long! For more than a quarter of a century he has been a pioneer of the revival of professional storytelling in Britain, telling stories to adults and children. \n\nComics were Adam Brockbank\'s first love, notably the black and white reprints of Silver age Marvel comics that he found on the shelves of his local newsagent. Adam spent seven years studying painting only to end up working in the film industry, first as a Storyboard artist then later as a Concept artist. He has worked on many films including \'X-men\', \'Sleepy Hollow\' and \'Tomb Raider\', but it is for his work on all of the \'Harry Potter\' films that he is best known, designing Creatures, props and vistas.
