Goliath / Tom Gauld. by Gauld, Tom. Drawn and Quarterly Books, 2012. Call #: 741.5 G269g Subjects Goliath (Biblical giant) -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Bible stories, English -- O.T. -- Comic books, strips, etc. ISBN:  9781770460652 (hardcover) 1770460659 (hardcover) Edition:  1st hardcover ed. Description:  [96] p. : col. ill. ; 25 cm. Summary:  This story reworks the David-and-Goliath myth. Goliath of Gath isn't much of a fighter. Given half a choice, he would pick administrative work over patrolling in a heartbeat, to say nothing of his distaste for engaging in combat. Nonetheless, at the behest of the king, he finds himself issuing a twice daily challenge to the Israelites: "Choose a man. Let him come to me that we may fight. If he be able to kill me then we shall be your servants. But if I kill him, then you shall be our servants." Day after day he reluctantly repeats his speech, and the isolation of this duty gives him the chance to banter with his shield-bearer and reflect on the beauty of his surroundings. Goliath's battle is simultaneously tragic and bleakly funny, as bureaucracy pervades even this most mythic of figures. Genre:  Comic books, strips, etc. Graphic novels.
