The Bayeux Tapestry is a fine 11th century master-piece which has
proved of exceptional documentary value towards our current
knowledge of the period. When discovering the tapestry for the
first time, visitors simply marvel at the great diversity of
characters, clothes, buildings, ships and other features it
portrays, literally losing themselves in what could be considered
as the world's very first comic strip, dating from the Middle Ages.
Comic strips have, of course, moved on with their balloons,
onomatopoeia and a number of specific terms used in this 8th
century art, such as foreground, angle shot, framing, dialogues;
very much the same words as those used in cinema. Gilles Pivard and
Arthur Shelton are delighted to present a compilation of this great
fresco in a somewhat more contemporary comic strip style. However,
to ensure that the work's authenticity remains intact, neither its
illustrations nor its historical contents have been altered. The
authors'aim is to offer a clear and comprehensive interpretation of
this epic adventure for the largest possible readership. They
sincerely hope that this book will incite readers to further
explore the fascinating story of William the Conqueror, the history
of the Bayeux Tapestry, or even history in general.
