Goliath (2012) is a graphic novel by Tom Gauld, published by Drawn & Quarterly. It is Gauld's first long-form book.
The book is a retelling of the biblical story of the warrior Goliath.
Development
Gauld wrote a story about the biblical figure of Noah in Kramers Ergot, issue 7 (2008). According to Gauld, it "was one of the things which led to do Goliath."
The longer format of Goliath—compared to the author's previous work—made the book more challenging to work on, according to Gauld.
