Fitzpatrick's Celtica puts other artists to shame. The work is exquisite and informed by his passion for his own cultural patrimony.
I suppose technically this is not a graphic novel in the traditional sense, just a heavily illustrated story. But the mode of illustration is similar to that used in many graphic novels.
I don't remember the story in this book too well (looks like I'll have to read it again), but Jim Fitzpatrick's artwork found on every page is incredible.
