About the book
Punk comics pioneer Gary Panter reimagines Milton's Paradise Regained in this spectacular graphic novel. Panter's version doesn't rely on Milton's words, but faithfully follows the structure of Milton's Paradise Regained, with one notable exception: Jesus has been replaced by a hillbilly, Songy, who is on a vision quest before being tempted by a chimeric Satan figure. Songy of Paradise is an art object, a brilliant literary experiment and the most eye-popping graphic novel of 2017.
