Dispossession, Simon Grennan's recently published graphic adaptation of Anthony Trollope's John Caldigate. The plot is focused around a young Englishman whose forays into gambling, womanising, and gold prospecting in Australia result in him being disinherited, blackmailed, and tried for bigamy. Grennan's adaptation uses experiments with colour, style and point of view both to dramatise original plot elements and to add new features including the first ever representation of the Aboriginal Wiradjuri language in a graphic novel.
