Praise for The Golden Compass Graphic Novel: “The story’s signature fantasies–the daemons, the armored mercenary polar bears, and the alethiometer–are realized with compelling force. [This] retelling will bring Pullman’s work new fans and give previous readers new pleasure.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review “Belongs in all libraries that include Pullman’s works.” –School Library Journal “Pullman’s original magnum opus is heady and dense, and it may prove challenging for some; this adaptation, with its visual accessibility, can help those struggling with the novel’s complexity achieve an understanding without watering down the intricacies.” –Kirkus Reviews
